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.

At bethel high school I feel that the administration was very strict upon students and would punish them over small things such as using the Bathroom at the wrong time but besides thing such as that I feel bethel high school was a very good school academic wise and the teachers there were very qualified in there fields with multiple of my teachers having doctorates and or phds as well I feel bethel high school did a good job to prepare you for life after high school such ad your choice in a trade or your choice in a college

I've loved the experience I've had at Bethel High School. I would like to see change at the highschool related to diversity. I have grown up and lived in the same small town in Connecticut where diversity is rare. As a young Jewish-Puerto Rican woman, I have been looking forward to finding a college that can provide the change in community, culture, and environment I've been looking for.

Small but not too small a variety of sports and other things to do. The teachers are great. The campus has had many improvements. Top-notch sportsfields and builds. A lot of different AP programs as well. My experience has been very rewarding. I have found my passion in life and was able to succeed both academically and while pursuing my future.

Although it has be...

I've been out of the school for a short time now, but found Bethel High School to be a great school. I transferred from another high school in another state and Bethel brought abilities out and helped me to reach my potential. I went from being in average classes at my previous high school to Honors...
