Normally yes, however consider this

Griffons-Most are greedy jerks who were only really together and happy when they had a golden trinket. Even the happy and/or nice ones like Gabby are pretty miserable around other Griffons. They don't seem to care about basic kindness and might only survive by pairing the two that hate each other the least.

Hippogriffs-They've been underwater a long time yet apparently no one noticed or else Celestia would've sent search parties. They need to become reaquainted with the surface world.

Dragons-Same boat as the griffons but apparently worse off. If that story that Smolder told is any indication dragons discourage being nice to each other. With good reason of course because of the things that can kill them but still.

Yaks-They don't need it as much as we once feared however this school will allow the yaks to integrate into Equestrian society like the hippogriffs.

Changelings-They've only been freed from their queen for at least a year, that's enough time to learn friendship sure but with only Thorax able to teach them and many ponies still scared of them it's probably hard to learn this previously foreign concept when they only needed to know loyalty.

Ponies-Honestly Twilight probably mostly included them being excluding groups is wrong. However being in a school with other species will teach the ponies to not be scared of them.

So that's two species who's families don't probably teach the kids these values, two that need to be integrated into Equestrian society, one species that is still trying to completely change their culture, and one that understands friendship but can fall into old ways of thinking.
