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.

The teachers were nice and the students were welcoming. It was a small school so you wouldn't get lost.

The community of Beckman High School is pretty good overall. There is a lot of competition but students are extremely supportive towards one another. School activities and dances are pretty good and are some of the best moments in high school. Some so many amazing clubs and programs are offered at school that will help a student grow. The only thing that is a problem is that some of the teachers in the school are terrible and do not teach very well. There are however a handful of teachers that are amazing. Just a small handful does not make the school quite bad when you have them.
