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.

BELL Academy is very caring. it's a small school designed for academically gifted students, and it shows in our state testing scores. My only complaint would have to be the amount of disrespect that goes on between the students. When my dad died, BELL Academy was there for me, and they supported me with all their available resources. Though this was years ago, I will never forget their kindness and I would not have gotten through the tough time without them.
