Great school, some teachers are a little disrespectful and some rules I feel like should be changed because it degrades students grade for no important reasoning.

Belleville High school is a school that is a part of the Belleville Public Schools system. Even though it is a public high school, there can be many changes made. I overall had a decent experience, and graduated with multiple honors and awards, but earning those did not take much effort. It is easy to excel, and I wish I had been academically pushed so that I could be prepared for college.
