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.

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.

My experience at Bethel High School has really been one for the books. Ive been attending from 9th all the way till 12th and have been able to see my school grow and mature. With admin to sports to even academics. Bethel has came a long way and its only going to get better as I leave.

I would like to see a change at Bethel in the up and coming years. My experience was not bad however there were many issues regarding the safety of students. After a conversation with the current principal. I believe Bethel can truly be the change the student body and staff would want.

I feel like they could do better in the safety of the students. The facility can better communicate with the community better. They also need to interact with their students more.
