"My daughter is a freshman and I am so glad she attends Beacon. It is a very safe school. The population is diverse and my daughter has learned so much about different cultures. The teachers/advisors cause the students to think for themselves and to question things and not just accept things as they are. My daughter is excited to go to school and often comes home discussing topics she learned in school. She has grown so much as an individual and I am so happy. I am proud to be a Beacon parent."

"I will never forget my Beacon teachers - they are all kind, challenging, and inspiring. I am now at a very rigorous university and feel over-prepared for the work. Students at Beacon are some of the luckiest in the country."

"Excellent academics, a program that stimulates kids to think and question, and not simply to memorize, promotes involvement in their social environment, encourages their creativity..."

"The teachers are amazing. I learned so much. I feel so much smarter than my friends at college. It really teaches you how to express yourself well and gets people interested in academics."

"Beacon is a progressive school that values education and requires students to proudly present their work at the end of the year as opposed to taking a silly, bubble and answer regents exam. THANK YOU, BEACON!!!"
