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.

I've have been attending this school since Fall of 2015 in my third grade. Overall I chose to stay at this school till my senior year and graduate in 2025 because I loved the culture that the school has and academically this school pushes us to be the best version of ourselves. I also love how competitive we are as well.

I was at BelovED from 7th grade to 12th, and overall, my experience was very good. I made a lot of good friends, and even saw people from my elementary school come to BelovED. It's a small school, so everyone knew each other's names at least. My senior class was small with 110 students. It makes standing out a little easier compared to other high schools, for example, I was able to be president of two clubs at some point in my high school career. The teachers are young and diverse, so we as students were able to connect with them more.

Beloved is an okay school. It prioritizes the community and creating a safe environment for everyone by including a lot of art/humanity classes that tackle topics such as race and sexuality which creates a safe environment for the students.

It's a school that's decent if you've been there for a while, but really hard to recommend to others. The work load is crazy, middle schoolers barely get time for lunch and get no recess, the teachers don't really care for what their doing but to students that have already stayed there for years, it...
