Beddingfield High has walked both my boys threw high school.. This school is small enuf children do not fall threw the cracks. They pay attention to their students. The counselors, teachers, principle, and all staff want our kids to succeed in earning their degrees.. Work with parents and the students to actively work threw problems and show appreciation to kids who hold up to their end of the work.. I have many times told parents in larger schools with "programs" they just needed a school like ours. I have two Seniors and I owe a lot of thanks and praise to the staff of Beddingfield high for this. Thank you

Number1 school in Wilson County. Never any worries about leaving my children with anyone at this school. 100% would recommend. The teachers and Mr Pope are committed to making smart, and healthy children.

Sadly, many of the excellent teachers who worked at Speight have begun to find jobs elsewhere and are being replaced by inexperienced beginning teachers due to the failure of the current principal to retain quality educators. On paper, Valerie Budd looks like she truly deserves her new title as Principal of the Year mainly due to low discipline and zero retention rates, but this isn't because there aren't problems like any other school. It's because there's no record. Students fail and get passed along. There are discipline issues that aren't recorded. One data record that can't be manipulated this year is the current test scores, which plummeted after the exodus of almost every department chair. While Valerie Budd will blame the current staff for this significant drop, she created the negative work environment that caused so many great educators to leave after dedicating majority of their careers to establishing relationships with the awesome parents and students of Speight Middle School.
