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.

Beaden River has been when of the best schools I've gone to. Everyone is kind and the teachers are there to be a helping hand and also be a friend. The administrators are just as kind as the teachers they are willing to help the students in any way but also being a friendly figure.

As a high school senior I can say that the overall experience in the school is amazing if you hang out with the right people. Now the admin say that they don't have favorites but they really do, the change the rules to their convenience making other students feel uncomfortable. The sports of the school is not bad but the football head coach tends to not do rotations between players based on their performance.
