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.

Bellevue High School has students that are very focused on academics and have a strong focus on sports. There is also an adequate music program and many club and class selections. However, the atmosphere can feel competitive at times.

It is overall a very good school, teachers are overall good and nice, however there is a huge lack of diversity and a really large wealth gap between the school. Most of the students are pretty nice along with the staff.
