My time at Beach high school was one to remember. Some highlights were through the health science and obtaining my personal training license through the program. Another highlight would be going to state through the basketball program at beach. The teachers and faculty are great, showing us a comfort and kindness through throughout the year.

It's a great school with a lot of academic readiness. I would recommend Beech High School. However, some things could be changed to make it even better.

Beech high school tries to do a lot but on both sides, faculty and students, many people don't care. The only people that seem to care are the handful of teachers that try to enforce the strict dress code like it is the law. Overall, the teachers and students are nice but it is still an average school that is much over capacity.

We moved to be in the Beech community. Ours kids are thriving, educationally and socially. Parents that have issues with this school, need to look at home first. What support are they giving their kids? Are they keeping the kids focused on their school work?What the student puts into the schoolwork...

If you have to send your child to this high school because you live in the radius for it. MOVE or apply for a scholarship or pay for private school. We all moved here and thought we were getting Station Camp Schools....then they rezoned us to this horrible example of a high school.
