The Kentucky Department of Education has recognized Beechwood High School as one of 11 Spotlight Schools, an accolade that recognizes “exceptional academic performance, creative practices and commitment to student success,” according to the state’s website.
The spotlight feature highlights some of the high school’s accomplishments: about 90% of graduates attend college and the district has an Advanced Placement participation of over 80%, in addition to its dual credit programs and diverse elective course pool.
The spotlight report also highlights the district’s Educational Design Geared toward Experience, or EDGE, program, which employs partnerships with local businesses and post-secondary institutions to help develop students’ critical thinking skills and aid in career exploration. The program is available for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
