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.

Todd Beamer High School has potential as a school, but most students lack spirit and passion. This makes it difficult to foster spirit as an individual, but easy to stand out amongst others if you are someone who is passionate about your school, sports, or academics. In the future, I wish for more students to step up and raise others to a higher standard.

My daughter just graduated from this school and it is a far better high school than these other reviews say. It's got highly qualified teachers, good social circles, and excellent extracurriculars. Sure, there are a few bad kids, as with any high school, but that's to be expected and overall this is...

They do not care to protect the children. Often threats made to students and parents from students within the school. Keep your kids away from here!!
