GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Belchertown High School is a very nice high school to go to. The academics are very good and all of the teachers are very great. The school does a very good job at preparing its students for college.

BHS only got a little scary this year when the freshmen came (a lot are "Nazis" and kept asking me if I was Jewish and being glad I wasn't). Other than that, facilities and staff are absolutely lovely.

BHS is great! I graduated from the Belchertown Junior Senior High School and I am proud to say that my son will be graduating from BHS next year. He is learning and enjoying himself by participating in a variety of activities.
