What Parents Should Know

At 58 students, Beta is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

Test scores at Beta sit below average, but its growth scores are strong: students here make above-average progress year over year. The raw numbers haven't caught up, but a school that keeps moving kids forward is doing the harder, more important work.

At 8.3:1 students to teachers, Beta sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
