honestly it was good community wise however i can name 10 really good schools in my area before naming bethel in terms of academics, it depended on the teacher you got but every good teacher still didn't like their job enough to really take care of your academics

Jesse Bethel is a nice school with a lot of nice people. Overall the staff there is pretty good but occasionally you'll find a bad egg there. The only complaint I have is that there were a lot of fights there. But the school did a good job to resolve those issues.
