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.

My experience with my school overall has been okay. The school activities are great and the school treats kids equally even disabled kids. The worst part is the security guards targeting kids and the overall rules. I would love to see this school calm down and put their teachers in check.

The one thing that I like about Beyer is that the teachers are mostly friendly and always have your best interest in mind. They offer good classes too and you can always ask for help. The counselors make sure that you are on track with your credits, and it's easy to schedule meetings with them if you need it. I think that Beyer needs more bathrooms, we only have one gender neutral bathroom located in the nurses office and it's always a long wait to use it.

It is absolutely appalling that this school employs a teacher who A) doesn't know the one subject in which she is paid to teach and who has to "relearn" her subject every year even after teaching it for 20 years, therefore if she doesn't know the subject how can she possibly teach it. B) can't teach...
