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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Overall I would say I have had a good experience at Beresford High School. The teachers are understanding and want the students to learn. The principal is also very open to new ideas and wants to see us succeed. The hardest part about being a student at Beresford and any other school is seeing the disrespect and no kindness from some students. It crushes me how many people don't care about others feeling or how it is going to affect one of their classmates. That is also the biggest change I would like to see. As well and teaching us more about real life experiences like how to buy a house or rent a car. All in all Beresford had been a good school and it had been a lot of fun getting to know my classmates for the past 12 to 14 years.

My experience with Beresford High School has been good. I have attended Beresford for my whole educational career. From the small town setting to the late night football games, my experience has shaped me as a person.

Over all I greatly enjoyed my experience at Beresford. It has a great small town feel, and everyone in each class is so tightly knit. That being said, the academics were not very challenging. For students such as myself who needed some more advanced classes we usually had to spend around $500 for an online college class instead. There simply wasn't much to offer for students who wanted to gain more out of their high school academics.
This community is very very closed, unless your the right family, hard to get help for your kids. Bullies a issue here that the school refuses to address.
