Bearden High School has prepared me for college. Though classes were challenging I learned a lot from some amazing teachers! Overall, a great high school that fosters creativity, curiosity and critical thinking. There isn't a particular thing I would change.
Review Bearden High School
I love the connection between the teachers and students. Bearden High has many opportunities for students to be involved such as clubs, sports, extra curricular. The schools is always want to you explore your choices after high school, bring in university. Teachers always want to help you with your choices. The administration are super friendly.
 The food at school is unhealthy and horrible food selection. I highly recommend packing lunch, it's the same things every since day
Bearden High School is a school full of opportunities and resources. teachers were almost always ready to help whether it be tutoring, college recommendations, or even advice. Administration tried their best to get to know each student personally, but with such a large school it was sometimes difficult. The school pride was unmissable. Each student carried their school pride with them wherever they were, and especially at sporting events. Even though our school was not the best at sports we always had a sense of school spirit among us.
