Hi, I'm a student at this school and I thought about writing a review for parents who are thinking about letting their child in the school, the learning experience is good, but its between because most children don't want to learn and other students do also depends on your child. The teaching is good as well but either way most students still don't want to learn, which is a common thing for schools. Special education is good, but I don't really know much about this one because I don't have any disabilities. Safety is good again, an example of this is a fight, if your child has been involved in a fight, you should know who started the fight, if your child has been misbehaving they might start a fight. Social-emotional support is good, in mental health they have fitness challenges, posters about vaping facts or for kids eating fruit to get them healthy. In family engagement the school does stuff to try to get the parents to know about their children's learning, overall I would recommend this school as long as you have a well behaved child so you wouldn't put stress for the teachers and staff who try to help your children's education.

My son was suspended for 5 days for having a phone in his pocket not even on it and last year he was beat up and the school did nothing about it this is so sad and they need to fire these worthless people I’ll be writing to the news about this debacle it truly saddens me they take this kind of action against someone who’s never got in trouble and gets great grades

The buses are packed, three to a seat and they don’t do nothing about it. There’s multiple buses that have barely any kids but they won’t add kids there because it’s a different route even though half those buses if not most of them pass through other routes. The principal is not concerned about it in the slightest bit. Car riders and teachers complain about the heat and stuff but don’t even acknowledge how bus riders feel in a cramped, hot, bus that is packed with kids. They should consider changing this before a kid is quite literally smooshed to death.*

Bullying is rampant. The school does nothing but look the other way. The administration is useless. Principal says it’s not his jurisdiction. Wonder what is

Sorry to leave Belleview and remove our Honor Class Student, as the schools are far superior over many in the Marion County, and the teachers, support staff and office staff are all wonderful.

This is school is way to political. One dean in particular only seems to care about "making examples" of certain students to further her own career.

This school and it's teachers really pushed their political opinions on the students during this election season. Teaching the students about politics is one thing, but don't tell them how to think and feel about candidates or political parties.
