My daughter had a rough time in 11th grade which is an extremely important year. She was cutting class and missing important tests. I didn't find out till her math teacher emailed me. Beacon has free periods throughout the day and students basically do whatever they want and teachers and administrators don't ask the students where they are supposed to be. This school failed her in the most important year. Now as a senior and applying to college she got rejected from all of the schools she wanted to go to. I don't recommend this school for kids that need a somewhat strict environment to thrive in.

As a parent of student about to graduate this school has excellent programs that help the student figure out what they like/dislike and I will be sad myself to say goodbye.
