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.

Bell high school is a wonderfully average school, our sports are funded but we lose in everything, our Ag program is one of the best in the state, our academics are mediocre, and the administration is over worked and underemployed. I have gone to bell since 2nd grade, and I love it, it is safe and small, unproblematic and focused, we are an A school, and we are rural. Many schools have their pros and cons, but in my opinion Bell high school is the best place to be.
