Student AND staff behavior is atrocious at this school. There ARE teachers who care but there is unfortunately not admin who cares. Being on campus, I felt unsafe at all times. There is racism present as well. It is sad for the students who do come to school to learn.

I went to this school when I was younger. during the 2000s I was put in a higher grade level than what I was supposed to be in. I got bullied a lot, and the classes were fast-paced. There was not a lot of practice or communication with parents about academics. The school did not have any programs to connect with students about their needs. The teachers did not get paid much, but some of them tried their best. However, more often than not, there was no connection between the students and their families or goals. Other than that, it was the same as any other school, but minor changes could have helped and improved performance. “The misuse of language induces evil in the soul.” - Socrates, Cratylus

Too many kids with behavior issues. The district does not have SDC which hurts the main stream students.

A horrible school! From the moment my son transferred here it was hell. His teacher didn't care about my son or his education at all. The moment he came here, he stopped learning anything. All the staff here including, the principal, have an attitude problem.

I went to Belle Haven from first to 8th grade and I absolutely love the relationships that I built there. I am twenty now and I still keep in touch with my classmates and some teachers. The teachers inspired me to go to college and change my community. I have finished now my second year of college with a gpa over a 3.0. The school is not the greatest, but ultimately it's the decision of the student of where they want to go in life and they have to figure out how to get there. My parents supported me but weren't involved with my school. This was the same story for many of my friends at Belle Haven and those of us who tried hard are now successful. One of my classmates went to Yale and another got a full ride to Santa Clara University.
