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.

Attending this school wasn't an overall terrible experience, but there are many things that Beyer could work on. Most specifically, Beyer should focus on the safety, the food quality, and the teachers that they hire as some are questionable in their qualifications.

My experience at Fred C. Beyer High School has been very pleasant. The environment is extremely welcoming and comfortable. I am very happy to attend this school. The students are very nice. They help you when you are lost, whether that be in academics or just every day life. The staff and faculty do their part. When they're needed they show up and show out. The academics here are very well taught as well. I feel very prepared for my future years.

Overall, Beyer Highschool with held ups and downs. There were moments and classes that had us students struggling such as bomb threats and teachers that don't understand student's needs. To play sports was very difficult to balance education and athletics each sport I've played , had poor coaching staff. But with these poor moments there were many good ones to outweigh them.

It is absolutely appalling that this school employs a teacher who A) doesn't know the one subject in which she is paid to teach and who has to "relearn" her subject every year even after teaching it for 20 years, therefore if she doesn't know the subject how can she possibly teach it. B) can't teach...
