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.

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.

The school is nice, teachers are good but the only problem I could tell is that we don't have coaches for the different sports, they are usually teachers and not coaches
