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.

Jesse Bethel is a school that you can easily make the most out of. Your experience at this school is determined by what you choose to do with your time here. My best experience here would be becoming a club president and going to the school events, and my worst experience would be dealing with schoolwork difficulties and grading.

I started Jesse bethel high school in the middle of my sophomore year. I missed the first semester of my sophomore year due to mental health, so coming to a new school with the possibility of having to renew it was my worst experience. Fortunately, I was able to obtain all the credits I missed doing edgenuity, which I finished in 2 weeks. That is one of my best experiences, another great experience was meeting new people, and having the opportunity to grow.

I had the best four years at Jesse Bethel high school. The diversity amongst the staff and students weren't like any school I have been to. The teachers were very straight forward with curriculum, always willing to lend a helping hand and overall amazing people. The only concern I had were the ongoing fights amongst the students.

My 15 year old son was going into school that morning and came back and told me that his skin started itching and had bumps all over his body. The next morning he had little bubbles all over his body that looked like big pim...
