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.

Belfry High School is a very well-rounded school considering the area it is from. Students are offered many opportunities not otherwise offered in their area but are also limited to a select amount of classes and extracurriculars. Schools in more populated areas have more options for students and more funding for those programs to excel.

I love the school and community pride. Most of the teachers are graduates of Belfry High School so they care about the students and community.

I loved the community inside of the school. Belfry isn't a large school so everyone knows everyone and it allows for the connections between students to be closer. I would like to see the school spirit improve, though. Everyone there needs to realize we have talent in our sports and they need to be supported.
