Summary:

The Hayward Unified school district serves approximately 15,000 students across 28 schools, from elementary through high school, in an area where most students face significant economic challenges.

While the district as a whole performs below state averages, there are standout schools that demonstrate strong outcomes. Southgate Elementary and Stonebrae Elementary are the top elementary schools, with test scores that approach or exceed state averages, while Mt. Eden High leads the high schools with the district's highest graduation rate. In contrast, schools like Glassbrook Elementary and Brenkwitz High face severe academic challenges and require substantial support.

Key challenges for the district include high chronic absenteeism, which exceeds the state average, and systemic struggles in mathematics, where only two schools outperform the state. Interestingly, higher per-student spending does not always correlate with better performance, suggesting that how resources are used is critical. The wide variation in results between schools with similar student demographics indicates that school-level practices and leadership have a significant impact on student success.
