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 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.

Beacon is a great academic school that can be a bit overwhelming, the classes are challenging and engaging.

The teacher and staff are constantly taking sides and all this school looks for is to try and pin a student to the corner and get him/her in trouble with whatever stupid “rule” they come up with. Whenever a student or parent speaks up they either get made fun of by the administrators or they get tal...

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.
