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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

It is an very welcoming environment. I wish they would crack down on the drug usage and mental health crisis, however thr students are lovely and the teachers are extremely helpful and caring.

Belle Fourche High School is a great school. I think it is a good school to bring any kid to. There are not any cliques like other neighboring schools, everyone is mostly friends and nice here. People take out their kid from other schools to bring them here. We have great programs, teachers, and it really is just a great experience. With the 4 day weeks and 2 week long christmas break, it is a great school to go to. The teachers help the students and it is easy to get assistance here. The only thing I don't like very well is the limited college resources, they want you to go to a school in South Dakota and don't want the students to look beyond it. Overall, a great school, and i recommend it to anyone looking to go.

The school itself is an awesome enviorment, great people, great staff and all around just amazing and positive vibes. Even though the building makes you feel like you're in an 80's movie, you still have this sense of home and interest that keeps you wanting more from the school.
