BCS Academic Excellence

About 90% of juniors and seniors take the SAT (compared to approximately 65% statwide and 49% nationally). Despite this high participation rate the class of 2006's overall mean score of 1670 exceeds those of area schools and the national average of 1518 and state average of 1493.

During the last ten years Bethany has had 16 National Merit finalists while the national average is less than 3 per school.
