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 experience at Beaver Falls was an unforgettable time. The atmosphere of every event was so uplifting and although I may not have liked school the staff was really enjoyable to be around. Beaver Falls gave everyone an opportunity no matter what your background was. Everyone was encouraging. I love college now but high school was an experience that I will never get back and I will forever be grateful for what it has taught me. I don't think I would be where I am today without the lessons this school has taught me.
