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.

Belvidere High School is very average across the board. The academics are undesirable and the school environment is unenthusiastic. It's very difficult for students to strive for anything when the bar is so low.

From my experience, there is a large divide between students who care about their education and those who don't.
