GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The worst part of my high school experience was the pandemic and going to a school where I didn't have friends, so I had to meet new people. The pandemic was horrible, but thanks to it I met a group of friends I didn't know I would have been with. The best part is that this school prepares me for college so that I will be ready to have a good college experience.

BECHS is a rigorous school. If I didn't have homework most days of the week, I had an upcoming test I had to study for.

Because of BECHS's connections to UTRGV, I am currently working on a research project with UTRGV. The hard work put in at BECHS will be worth it in the end.
