Both my boys went to Bellaire HS. They were both enrolled in the IB program. They had an excellent education and took a lot of AP classes there. The program was very rigorous and demanding . Also they were participating in the debate program and involved in political activities. Both ranked very high in the ranking of their class. One was accepted at Rice University and the other one at Harvard University. I couldn’t be happier with their performance and the quality of education that Bellaire HS offered to them.

We have been at this school 9 years between 2 kids and even Owls Nest. If you have a girl and she is a box kid, this is the school for you. If you have an out of the box kid who is a boy...stay far away. The administration is laughable. Their COVID in person is more like virtual as the older grades have 3 teachers but only one in person, the other 2 are viewed via smart board and teaching to over 100 kids at one time. Math via smartboard is pretty tough. You see no assignments until after your student takes exams and you have no idea what they are working on as there are no assignments that come home until after the fact. Discipline protocols are inconsistent and multi-part. Yet, the school failed my son on multiple occasions. In hindsight, I wish we had left for a different school while we had the chance.

I am extremely disappointed with the administration at this school. My son was involved in a situation where he felt completely unheard and dismissed by school leadership. Rather than taking the time to listen to all sides fairly, it felt as though assumptions were made without fully considering his perspective.As a parent, it is heartbreaking to watch your child leave a meeting feeling like his voice does not matter. Every student deserves to be treated with respect and given an equal opportunity to be heard.I attended this school years ago, and it was a very different place. Unfortunately, the administration today does not reflect the standards I remember. Student behavior has declined, and the way concerns are handled leaves much to be desired.My son's experience has left me questioning how many other students may feel ignored or unsupported when they need help the most. I hope the school takes steps to ensure that all students are treated fairly and that parents' concerns are taken seriously.
