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.

As a student of van buren district since second grade, I have enjoyed attending the Edgemont elementary, north middle school, and Belleville high school. All three schools were resourceful, diverse, and a good environment.

I like how we are a small community in which we can all help each other out. Teachers are able to have one on one help with students to help them thrive. At van buren we have a wonderful science fair program in which students can conduct and participate in local and statewide science fairs every year.
