GreatSchools Rating
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.

Beaver Area high school focuses on keystone test prep for their courses/classes. Because of this, they don't provide courses in life skills, leading to many students being concerned for their future stability. However, our school prides itself in its inclusivity. We are known for being accepting to every new student who comes here.

Beaver Area School District was an experience filled with many worthwhile as well as many useless classes. We had many kind and involved teachers, but our school was too run down for our nice town and community

The high school is not very involved in their students daily lives. I've had several children graduate from there within last 8 years and there was a lot of bullying, peer pressure and pressure of teachers. Also, there seems to be a growing heroin problem that the parents seem to ignore.

Beaver is a great school in a small and tight knit community. The teachers are wonderful and parents are very involved. It can be an adjustment for newcomers, since most of the students have known each other a long time, but in general they are friendly and welcoming.
