The sense of community here at Beachwood is unparalleled. Within grades, in between different grade levels, student-faculty relationships, as well as within the faculty itself, Beachwood is rife with the most tight-knit communal bonds you'll find. As an new student, a student got up from their chair and welcomed me with a warm handshake literally at the door of the classroom. The next 5 years that I've spent here have been no different. Although academic and extracurricular performance seem to be a top priority for the majority of students here, the unity makes it a group effort rather than an individual struggle.
Beachwood is a very rigorous and tight-knit school. grade sizes average very low and this creates a sense of community and competition. In fact, competition is embedded into the school and their programs. Students are encouraged to skip and increase levels in almost all fields. Yet, this can be very harmful in some cases in which students end up taking multiple honors and/or AP classes and still feel unworthy and unintelligent. This is simply become a part of Beachwood culture. Students are pressurized in creating a standard in which they must excel in all areas even those they have no interest in. It becomes unnecessary and lonely at a certain point and feels very pointless. There is no true goal in advancing non-stop yet that is what is expected of most students. Despite this, there are many opportunities provided to students, specially in the STEM fields which have provided a great base for past alumni.
One of the best things about Beachwood High School is the diversity. There is people from different countries, religions, and cultures which I found beautiful. The academics at Beachwood is also amazing. The school offers many AP's classes and have great teachers.
