This School’s Reviews

4.0 Junior

5/13/2024

I feel like Beacon is a good school but over the last couple of years things definitely went down hill with the switch in principals and the new students.

3.0 Senior

2/27/2024

Great experience but can use a bit of work in certain areas, overall challenging academic school but a great way to develop maturity for college.

4.0 Senior

2/22/2024

I feel that Beacon was the best fit for me as an academic student who values rigor and flexibility in my education.
