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.

Belle High School has been my school for about two years now and I have found a couple of different things that I can proudly say I dislike and like. My main problems with the school are we don't have very many resources for the students, and we are always trying to find new teachers. The great things about Belle include the extracurriculars, the community inside the school, and the skills of the teachers we have now. Belle may not be the fanciest but I sure do know how to make you feel like you're a part of a big family. I would very well like to see us in the future have more things to work with as a district, but I think as long as everybody can learn to work with each other belle will continue to have great success.

It is a small rual school that does what it can to provide for a very underserved and under funded community.

The school doesn't let students give their opinions over anything that happens in the school. They are also worried about all the wrong things when it comes to safety and everything
