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 came into Beckman high school in 2022 as a Freshman starting my second semester there and I was surprised by how diverse and friendly everyone was compared to my original school Foothill Highschool. It was a great transition and I have enjoyed my past three years there.

Beckman is a good school, fairly new and the facilities are clean and well equipped. Most teachers are good and really help you learn. There really isn't much to complain about except how crowded it gets in the halls or that sometimes you find kids crowing in the bathrooms to smoke (which can get annoying sometimes).
