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.

The school....where do I begin? Everyone is wonderful here. The staff, the students, the teachers who are all willing to learn something new each and everyday. The memories of the school are only positive, happy ones. The librarians are as well great advice givers when 8th graders are planning on leaving for high school. I'm a former student myself (class of 2011), but I cannot help but think of how much this school has formed me to becoming the successful young person I am today.

The Bell School environment is wonderful, everyone is accepting and loving. The school is advanced in both their academics and their creativity. Every year there is either a talent show or a musical, a sign voice theater performance as well as a legacy art project done by the eighth graders. I love this school and all its students and faculty and would choose to attend this school again in a heartbeat.
