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 Bettye Myers has been ok. My son will graduate from there this year. There has been an excess of fights lately which is concerning. The administration doesn't seem to do much about it and there's only one security guard that I'm aware of. My son seems to be learning quite a bit, which is good. I believe that some teachers tend to email a little too much, and some not at all, especially when it is needed.

I feel like this school is a nice place, but student interaction is not positive in any way. This makes the environment fell unsafe. But the teachers are overall amazing and will keep trying to teach us no matter what.

Ngl they should make it so you can do zero stars because this school needs a new principal who will give us back every right we had before we had this principal.
