[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I commented that Hayfield is not a good school. I am zoned for Hayfield. I have talked to other parents. Some people are happy, but I have also heard of many who don’t want their children there, would rather have their child at Edison (yes, it is IB with few AP classes but is still preferred by some), and those who sent their child to private just to avoid Hayfield. Teachers from Mark Twain Middle said it wasn’t good and advised sending kids to Edison instead. I realize some people don’t have a choice, but the original poster apparently does and is asking.[/quote]

What's wrong with Hayfield? They offer a full array of college-credit classes just like all other FCPS schools. They're arguably one of the most well-balanced FCPS schools as far as demographics and performance with nearly 30% split between White, Black, Hispanic, and 10% Asian and a 30% FARMs rate which is roughly the FCPS average. They're a school that truly represents the diversity of the county's population. Most other schools are either concentrated White or concentrated Hispanic which leads to significant disparity.

I just don't understand why demographics makes Hayfield a bad school.[/quote]
