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.

Bellmont has been a great place to complete high school. There are so many opportunities for career pathways that will help you decide what job will suit you in the future. The teachers are very helpful and will always be there for you. If there were to be any change I would say the lunches because we eat the same thing every week.

My experience was pretty good so far. Most if not all my teachers I've had in the past four years are willing to help and make sure you succeed. It's always nice and loving to talk to some of the staff especially the lunch room ladies and janitors. Bellmont itself is an okay school. The construction on the track and field track during season wasn't the best. Construction timings aren't the best but it all works.

However, there were one or two teachers that went above and beyond to help me with personal problems. Academically, I was bored. I was challenged very little, even being in honors classe...
