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 best parts of the experience absolutely has to be the staff members here, they inspire each student to grow and develop over the four years they attend this high school. The worst has to be the underfunding towards certain programs within the school; for example, the art classes and many sports that are not football. I would love to see more representation brought out to different sports, clubs, minority groups, and even different ideologies.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Bellmont High School so far. Bellmont has been a great place where I have grown as a student and a person. I feel as if the teachers and staff do a good job of supporting and helping my personal needs. The school also does a great job at providing resources for me to increase my academic standing. Although all of this is great I would like to see a couple of changes at Bellmont. These changes would be a more stable administration and higher ups in the school as there has been a lot of change recently and not much stability. I would also like to see the culture inside the school and student body change as I believe we could be more united and together as one school.

I attended Bellmont for all four years of high school. There a lot of teachers that just don't care and it shows. However, there were one or two teachers that went above and beyond to help me with personal problems. Academically, I was bored. I was challenged very little, even being in honors classe...
