This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

1/30/2026

The school is decent academically, however, there is a lot of pressure and un involvement from the parents, students, and some times teachers.

When I first started attending Bethel High School it has been nothing but chaos. Kids are out of control and they don't listen. The teachers are okay but some need to actually enforce consequences. The work is not that bad but I wish some teachers would communicate with you one on one to see if you need any help with anything. Some students can't speak up for themselves because they're too scared. Admin is not so bad but I feel like they could engage with us more in their free time. The bathrooms are super super nasty. There should be no reason why I go into the bathroom to use it and the toilet is broken as well.

It was a good experience. The school itself is not bad it is just the teachers having a issue with kids and not doing anything about behavior.

I hated this school it did nothing but give me depression and made me want to drop out. The staff where highly unencouraging and always told me I wasn't going to be anything or make anything of myself because I was having a child 10th year. But in leaving I finished high and graduated college twice...
