Who it tends to fit

A good match when

  • You live in the Hayes attendance zone and want a neighborhood elementary school.
  • Your child would prefer staying local rather than commuting to a magnet campus.
  • You want to evaluate school culture, logistics and classroom feel before considering clubs and activities.

Think twice when

  • Your address is outside the zone and you are relying on open enrollment.

Visit the campus and confirm current capacity, classroom conditions, programs and activities before deciding.
