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.

They helped me graduate early, but considering the state of the curriculum in general, they don't seem to be preparing kids for college well enough. It would be great if students were pushed more and given more information about the path ahead.

Becton Regional High School has a lot of clubs, sports, and activities that make student life fun and engaging. The teachers and staff are supportive, but academics could be stronger. Overall, it's a diverse school with good opportunities.
4.0 Works Here
6/3/2024
Student population continues to grow more diverse, but teaching staff doesn't match it. Teachers here CARE - there is a lot done to ensure student success (same goes for admin). School attendance (and avoidance) is a huge issue that needs addressing. That isn't to say it isn't addressed at all, but more needs to put toward this. It effects everything else - grades, culture, behavior. I don't know what the solution is, but I don't feel like we're working hard enough to combat it.

BRHS is my alma mater and I am so proud to be a WILDCAT! I had a wonderful high school experience and still carry caring words and thoughtful lessons I learned in my classes. Is everyone perfect...no, but if that is what you are looking for you will always be disappointed. People forget that funding...
