Most of the teachers clearly hate thier jobs. Hatefully nasty attitudes toward the students(e.i yelling at classrooms of students they are just lazy.) Strong passive aggressive attitudes toward parents. Very little activities that include parents involvement. No concerts or holiday parties. A lot of issuses with bullying.

The Academies set up at this school are wonderful. Students can start classes in specific areas like Engineering, Biomedical, and Computer Science as early as middle school. They pick a specific track or academy with advisors and a four-year plan to come out ahead of the game for college. Students can take plenty of AP and college credit classes. There is a wide variety of extracurriculars- swimming, esports, robotics, football, track, etc. The students can keep track of assignments and grades online and even do most of the assignments online. Parents can also keep track of what's going on with their grades online. For a smaller district, Belton is really doing a lot to keep up with the times. Students can even get welding and construction experience and certification if they aren't planning on a four-year college. My kids have had a great experience with supportive staff and great classes. I'm glad we decided to settle down here.

I love how this school only has two grades. The whole school is designed to support only fifth and sixth graders. There was a lot of parent involvement.

This school has really turned around. There used to be a lot of behavior problems and indifference at the school. Now I am seeing a big difference. The administration there these past few years have been doing great. I see they even won a national award for creating an environment of character. I would highly recommend this school.
