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.

Overall, I would say Belton High School is a very friendly and safe environment to be at. The teachers are very good at their job as well as being easy to get along with. I really like the academy system we have at Belton. It definitely exposes me to school content I don't think I would have exposed myself to if we didn't have the system. I am very proud to say that I am a Belton Pirate!

It has good programs. The teachers are okay. Sports teams are not very good. It's a nice building with a weight room and a pool.

I had some of the most magnificent teachers at this school. There were some that were born to teach and it was noticeable. They made it known how much they loved the job. However for every good teacher, there's a bad teacher too. Some of the teachers didn't truly teach and would just throw material at us expecting us to be able to learn it. Most of us didn't learn well like that.

I had four kids go successfully through this school district. They all enjoyed many extra curricular activities. There is so much to offer and they are adding things all the time. The staff is very supportive. Highly recommended!
