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.

I have gone to Bell schools since Pre-K. Being able to grow up with my class has allowed us to become like a family and create so many memories. Small class sizes allow those who have significant academic achievements to really stand out to colleges. It is in an agricultural community so the FFA is a big part of our school which allows those a part of it to prepare for their future career in agriculture. The teachers there really care about us and treat us as their own children. We know that we are safe and cared for.

Going to bell high school was so nice with great staff and great education. It is a small community so everyone is very close and cares about the growth of each other. Discipline is used in order to graduate everyone as successful members of our community. Together everyone succeeds at Bell High School. I highly recommend this school to others.
