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.

It was great and I wish parents would look at the quality of the school instead of pushing their kids to the newest school.

Over these past four years I had a lot of mixed thoughts about this school from on how my older brother described this school but overall this school is a four star school because I have never had a bad experience other then the school tragedies but nor a good experience but what I would the school to change the time school starts to switch our time with elementary school so we can have more time after school to do work, school work, and spend time out and another thing is to have it even equally on sports because I love soccer but our soccer is poorly funded in my opinion

During the covid-19 pandemic, my school was very understanding. My principal made sure all students were taken care of, remote or in person. When we had an act of violence at our school, every member of staff was available to talk to or help in any way they could. My principal has also tried to make us more of a community at school. Overall, Belton High School has allowed me to flourish and prepare for college.

This school unnecessarily violates student rights and interrogates them without warrant. I was approved to create a video by my teacher who assigned a gothic-style essay. A week later, I got in trouble for writing the essay even though the school admitted there was no link what so ever to Belton Hig...
