I think this school is okay! I do have some problems with it though. I don''t like the fact that Females and Males are seperated in Lunch groups. Good school though, Very nice teachers.

Honestly? The school is decent, not the best, not the worst, although i do have a problem, they only enforce dress code onto female students, which I do find quite the problem with. If you are going to have a rule in a school, do not apply it to one gender. It's most often I see female students get dress coded. In my two years here, I haven't ever seen a male student get dress coded, yet I have seen at least fifteen female students get dress coded.

This school is very clean and building is very modern and nice.You have your caring teachers and not so caring as any school.The band director is wonderful . She engages all the students and if you want to learn and move up, if you try; you will in there. During the pandemic lockdown, even though seriously ill, she stayed in contact with her students. Not many did!!!School principal is very fair and does a great job.

Beckley Stratton has been going downhill in education and student/teacher behavior. The students treat the teachers like crap as well as the teachers treating students wrongly. My daughter has been going there for 2 years and when we moved, she was so behind on everything that she was put into special needs classes. This is not a school you should send your child to, unless you/your child don't care about education! Parent's don't ruin your child's education like this. Send your students to park/trap hill. Anything but Beckley Stratton!

This is not a school you want your child to attend unless you want them to be an uneducated gang member.
