I'm a K鈥12 graduate from years ago. My daughters attended Beechwood, and my grandson is a current student. Beechwood is a great public, independent school system. They are currently rebuilding the oldest section of the school building. When completed this summer, it will have state of the art facilities and an old school charm. The faculty and staff are as great as the building itself.
