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.

They had passed off a harassment report as "Sometimes there are bad people in this world. Don't be friends with them." Then why don't you control it? You're the same reason why fights are everywhere. It doesn't make me feel safe in my own school. Also immature of one of them to insult some children walking down the hall including me to get out of the school. Not cool Belzer Middle School.

First son went through Belzer and was fine years ago. Now, Belzer is awful. No one cares, and it's all about the almighty football team. Can't get anyone to return a phone call regarding the student in question and have sent countless emails. Zero communication from this "school".
