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.

I have had my moments in high school, but as I am only a junior I still have a a lot to go. I do not remember freshman year. I had no honors classes, and I wish I had done more to higher academics in my high school years. Most of the time I wanted to be by myself but then I found my group of friends and it went faster than expected. I wish I was pushed more in classes but also the teachers should care more about preparing me in school but also in life.

The community is very supportive and is always going the extra mile to make Beech the example of an excellent academic school. All admin are supportive and helping making sure that all students are academically applied for college, and the real world. Overall Beech is very great school that is applied to the students success, and future.

We moved to be in the Beech community. Ours kids are thriving, educationally and socially. Parents that have issues with this school, need to look at home first. What support are they giving their kids? Are they keeping the kids focused on their school work?What the student puts into the schoolwork...

If you have to send your child to this high school because you live in the radius for it. MOVE or apply for a scholarship or pay for private school. We all moved here and thought we were getting Station Camp Schools....then they rezoned us to this horrible example of a high school.
