Beacon High School

"It's a nice school! Clean! The kids tell me the lunches are good. The Employees are always ready to go the extra mile."

"I cannot rate the school because I graduated from the old Beacon High School in 1975 before the new school was built. The school architectural design looks good. However, racism amongst the teachers and even athletic department has always been prevalent at Beacon High School which prevented many African-American athletes from going to good colleges for an education and to continue reaching their goals as athletes. All praises be to Allah (God) I beat the odds as an African-American and becoming an alumnus of Marshall University, Howard University and the University of the District of Columbia with a post graduate degree. My mother set a good example for me to preserver despite racism and negative back bitters at Beacon High School and in Glenham, New York where we still own a home; although, I live and work in Washington, DC and am very happily married with a family and very successful. I am in New York every three months to check on the house, shop etc.."

"no complaints besides the teachers ,food ,classrooms, students, noisy radiators and not enough fights...other than that its amazing :)"

"Certain members of the administration tend to be both sexist and racist. Little to no effort is taken to curb the drug and smoking both in and around the school. There is a general distinct lack of consideration for the students wellbeing. All of this happens and when a member of staff does actually speak out against or about these issues they are reprimanded by the administration. The reason for the two star rating is for the brave few that do speak out against the issues."

"Ok staff nice building would not recommend food."
