Mount Eden High School

Mt. Eden is the best school in Hayward. Mr. Duran has really turned the school around. His passion and joy for the school has elevated the moral of students to believe that what ever they set their mind to they can do.

As a highly qualified veteran teacher I was saddened to experience such horrid conditions.The classroom had rat droppings everywhere, trash stuffed into all cabinets, rude disrespectful students, graffiti all over the desks etc, NO working heat, and outdated curriculum. ALL of which is illegal in California.Students who curse out teachers and/or destroy books are NOT given consequences. IE: less suspensions make principals look good.I did not see any social responsibility or compassion here. Students left litter all over the campus and thought nothing of stealing from each other/teachers.

I love this school. I have great friends and some teachers who care. Like Mr. Klien, Ms. Shelton, Mr. Duran, and Ms. Mann. But most teachers are just their to get paid and that's it. They have no interest in the students.

This school use to have a bad reputation but it has completely changed for the best. I am so happy that I put my son in this school. Every school has it's flaws but Mt. Eden's priorities are there students and there education. They also have the best music program in the entire US.
