My experience with BASD has been interesting. Throughout the course of my years in the BASD, it's definitely progressed and advanced when it comes to providing and accomodating students. I appreciate what they have done what they have. Most staff push their students because they care. Even though, I am very glad I am graduating. I can say that I am glad that I spent most of my education at the BASD. Something I would say, is that the teachers should teach more? Not all of them, more so the AP teachers. I know they're college prep/equivalent courses, but still aren't they supposed to teach. I say this with no disrespect. I am also very sure that COVID disrupted everything for and with everyone, so things were and still are definitely a learning experience for everyone. Overall, I'd say that BASD is a 7.5/10 school.
My experience with the Bethlehem School District and the schools I attended there has all provided me with the best preparation towards my college aspirations. Since I started in Kindergarten and through my current senior year, I have succeeded in all my academics and had the opportunities to be in several extra-curricular activities. Bethlehem Area School district has the feel of a large city with great diversity yet still is not a big city. There are students from all walks of life and with all levels of academic ability. My school Freedom High School has allowed me to take many Advanced placement courses in order for me to get ahead when I go to college. I participate in several teams and organizations such as Band, National Honor Society, Varsity Football and Varsity Lacrosse. Everything I have accomplished has equipped me for the next level of lifelong learning as I head off to the United States Merchant Marine Academy this summer.
Great teachers and staff! Since I’ve started public school in 2nd grade at Miller Heights, the Bethlehem Area School District has always been inclusive and unifying. I’ve had great bonds with almost all of my teachers and I’ve loved my time as a student!
