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.

My experience at Fred C. Beyer High School has been an experience. They do try to get you ready for college, but they could do a little better on having one on one time with students because for some they are the first to go to college so it is challenging to figure it out.

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.

The best part of my experience is meeting new people and making friends. The worst part of my experience is the lack of art classes and the lack of language classes. I would love to see more classes in the future

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...
