Bethlehem Area School District has taught me all my life from k-12. I love the community around it and enjoyed many years. Although some teachers are a struggle, there are a lot of great ones. The staff and counselors have supported me through all the changes and have made my school experience one of a kind! The only negative i would have to come up with would be the safety in the high schools. There have been a lot of fights and incidents although over the years they have been doing very good at controlling it all.
The things I enjoy most about Bethlehem Area School District is that the schools can be rivals during games but can instantly turn and work together. For example, football game rivalry and BASD mini-thon to raise money for children with pediatric cancer. I can say, the academics in BASD are great. Most teachers are willing to involve themselves with their students and are willing to help as much as possible. The most important change I would like to see are in the facilities. Some facilities are run-down and outdated. I would also like to see a change in the food. The food served is either unhealthy or not edible. An alternative would be natural foods like fruits and veggies, or anything that provides proper nutrition. Lastly, I would like to see an increase in diversity. It would love to see more international exchange students throughout Bethlehem Area School District. Not only do they increase diversity, they educate students about other customs and cultures.
The Bethlehem Area School District (BASD) is overall a very good district for children to attend school. It is a good learning environment that the administration is constantly trying to improve. I attend Freedom High School, and it, like every school, has its strengths and weaknesses. I have had many classes that I have loved and learned so much from while others have been the exact opposite. Some areas of the school are very nice while other parts need to be updated. The BASD does understand these inconsistencies and is slowly making improvements. The district is a nice place to learn, and I'm sure it will be even better in the future.
