Very racist school if you don't act a certain way you will be bullied and made to conform teachers and staff do nothing to fix it. Constant fights and disrespectful students.

I feel like this school has failed my child in many ways. From below average test scores among all of his classmates to an awful discipline system. There is no reason my son should come home almost every day with a new story of another student getting in trouble because they had to use the restroom or talking during lunch. Since when has the lunch room become a correctional institution? My child attended Doby and LLT for Kindergarten/1st grade and was average on test scores. He also enjoyed school at the time. Come 2nd grade, he transferred to Belmont since it was the closest school and that's when the troubles began. Test scored plummeted, no desire to learn or go back the next day, constant complaints about remarks teachers make, kids fighting and clearly bullying on the walk home right outside of the school. I wish I was exaggerating but drive by the school once they release the walkers and see it for yourself. It's a shame honestly. I wish I had better things to say about this school but that's just the reality of it.

I would not recommend this school to anyone that cares about their children's education or safety. This school has had multiple occasions where guns were brought into the school or in students cars. The teachers don't care about teaching the students, instead they give your child packets of work or email them work to finish at home and they don't even understand. It takes forever to get a hold of anyone in the school whether that be emails, calls and texts. I can not stress enough how terrible this school is, the amount of students and careless teachers makes it hard for anything to be taught and it makes safety worse as well.
