This is an excellent school with a dedicated principal and staff. The students beginning in 3rd grade move to their teachers like in Junior High and have a math teacher, a different language arts teacher, Spanish, social studies, music, art, and PE teachers. There is a strings and band program. In addition,
... Read more there are dance and cheer leading groups. Much more cultural and sports activities take place at this special school. Although the work load is great and challenging, it pays off at the end because the students learn so much from the course content, teaching quality and hands on, project based learning. It's a lot of work to study, complete projects, take exams and more from the academic core, but the children become prepared, competitive academically and socially. My children are straight A students and many children exceed the state CRCTS. Minimal disciplinary problems. I Highly recommended Beecher. Read less

As a volunteer reader this year, I have been very dissapointed in the lack of interest and respect the five of us have gotten from the school administration. There were at least 4 occasions when we showed up on our appointed day and time only to find out that the children were not available to listen
... Read more to stories. We had checked in advance to make sure the times were available through the principal. He reassured us the days and times were good. When we arrived for our last reading of the school year, there was an awards program going on which even acknowledeged volunteers but not our group and of course we did not get to read to the children again. This occurring once or even twice might have been understandable but after that the staff should have put us on their calendar and notified us when to stay home. Read less
