Not just another four years of school, Beacon fosters a community of learners - students and teachers - who are "in it" together.
7/15/2018
Beacon is a very welcoming community. Very hands on in helping students understand the lesson material as well as being a person you to talk to about anything.
8/14/2017
I absolutely love Beacon. I transferred into the school halfway through the school year and everyone was very welcoming. I think the best part of the school is the teachers, who are always willing to help us and talk with us outside of class, whether it be about the class or something else entirely. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have gone to Beacon.

Great school my son had a great experience in 5th grade. The fifth-grade guy teacher made learning alive and fun with the use of fish tanks in his classroom.
