Overall, my experience was decent. I had a lot of struggles because when I went, it was not as diverse. That being said, I biracial and received many issues from other students due to my skin color. Other than that, I genuinely enjoyed the school.

Beachwood high school is a safe place for students to learn and grow. There are many different opportunities to learn and flourish in. The scheduling and rule policies arent good though. Having to get to school early and rigidness isn't fun
