I have a son who graduated, and a daughter who is a senior. Beloit Memorial has prepared my son well for the challenges that he is dealing with at the reputable 4-year college which he now attends. Because of the many AP classes that he took advantage of, the college classes that he took at Beloit

This is my daughter's first year at BMHS and so far I am not overly impressed. The curriculum is dumbed down, even in the advanced courses and the 4-90 minute classes per day are way too long.

Although it is great to keep the school safe with backpack and locker checks as well as cops and drug dogs roaming the halls, it is also sad that this kind of thing is so necessary at BMHS.

I don't know if the staff is dumb or just lazy, but this issue is absolutely horrendous! Read less

Beloit Memorial(BMHS) is a great schoool if you ask me. My son was a 'straight A' student at HHS and has continued that at BMHS through his junior year. BMHS has allowed him to advance in math as he has the opportunity to take calculus and courses at the college(BC) because of their 4 class-block
