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.

The best thing about our school is our teachers. There are a lot of teachers I can talk to and provide support. The worst thing is how cold the classrooms are. Especially when it's cold outside. I freeze a lot at school.

Belfry High School is a very well-rounded school considering the area it is from. Students are offered many opportunities not otherwise offered in their area but are also limited to a select amount of classes and extracurriculars. Schools in more populated areas have more options for students and more funding for those programs to excel.

I had a great experience at Belfry High School. What sticks out to me most was my senior year and how we all saw how Covid-19 began to change things. The school was very patient and allowed us to experience the most important moments of high school all while keeping us safe and allowing the people that mean the most of us to be apart of these huge milestones.
