Overall for a small-town High School, Belvidere is a good school and my child did well and adapted well within the school.

The best parts about this school is the academics and the sports nobody talks about. We are usually pretty good at the not no popular sports. The worst part is the football games, since the team is not good the games are not very interesting to go to.

Belvidere is the NJ’s best kept secret. With it being such a small school everyone gets one on one attention and no one is just a face of the crowd. Faculty is knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely interested in there students. Great sports and amazing school spirit!

I recently graduated from Belvidere and for the most part Belvidere's education is good. Most of the teachers are great and care about your succession; the problem is the amount of kids that don't want to apply themselves. Few teachers like to fail students as if the school was Harvard (John Owens)....

It is a good school if you are a low quality administrator or teacher seeking employment in education. If you are a parent with the least bit of concern for your child, home school or move.
