Max S Hayes High School

Len Toma: My son started 10th grade at Max Hayes this year and I've been very impressed with how well this school is being run. Finally, we found a school that had an atmosphere that's conductive to learning; not just a social gathering place for out of control teenagers. I now have confidence that my son is in a school that will help him prepare for his future, and also show him that his previous bad experiences with schools doesn't have to be accepted. Hopefully, we found Max Hayes in time to prevent my son from disregarding school because of the shortcomings of many of the other schools.

Max Hayes is much different from the other Cleveland Public Schools that I've experienced in the past. It has a much smaller student body, and APPEARS TO ALWAYS BE ORDERLY AND MAINTAINED. The principal, guidance counselor and teachers have always been friendly, easy to talk to, and willing to take the time concerning my son's education.

My son had been attending an online school because of our dissatisfaction with poorly managed, under supplied, and out of control schools. I was concerned when he said he wanted to go to Max Hayes for the automotive courses that are available there. Our previous experience with other Cleveland Public Schools, and even one of the charter school in the Cleveland district, had left us very disappointed in their performance.

My experience with Max Hayes is not the same as it's been with other Cleveland Schools. I hope the administration takes a look at Max Hayes in finding the direction our schools should be heading.
