I had the best four years at Jesse Bethel high school. The diversity amongst the staff and students weren’t like any school I have been to. The teachers were very straight forward with curriculum, always willing to lend a helping hand and overall amazing people. The only concern I had were the ongoing fights amongst the students.

Jesse Bethel has been a pretty mediocre school. Through my four years of attendance I have gotten very far and used all the resources provided to the best of my ability, with little help. There are many improvements to the school that should be considered but it is not a bad place when you have a positive mindset.

At the High School that I attend. Which is Jesse M. Bethel High School, my experience thus far has been pretty good! There are a lot of nice and friendly people at this school! They offer a lot of AP Classes which is great, and some teachers have really great relationships with the students. A good amount of teachers really put effort into the students learning, Although some of them are not really strict on students learning, which is a bad aspect of it. I think that Jesse M. Bethel High School should hire more interested teachers on campus at times. Another aspect that I do not really find great is that a specific counselor gets frustrated with students, which can make students on campus scared or nervous to ask questions! On the other hand, another good thing about this school is that they offer a lot of programs and clubs that can help students in their academic future.
