"This school needs more African American teachers because im used to having good teachers that understand us as students and that want to see us do better as adults white teachers jus care about getting through the day n the money not all of them though I respect a few of the teachers who are still there or left but besides the point we need more black teachers untile that happens I will forever keep my rate as a 1 star n need new VPS because both of them don't let kids talk n explain what happened they cut str8 to the chase to get the kid suspended,expelled or denteion this school needs to change its grading system back to Normal to because it's very hard for some kids to even manage a D or a C or even get to a B or A"

"My husband and I got a call from special services at Belleville HS asking us to complete a survey about how they did educating our daughter. I called asking where I could find this said survey; their answer..I have no idea what you are talking about. Well, I will tell you right here. My daughter spent her senior year being tutored just about 7 days a week at 90 dollars an hour. She is enrolled in college where she is is an honor student. She was told about a pen that connects with her iPhone that takes copious notes and she uses digital books.We also pay about 600 dollars a week to teach her the fundalmentals of writing and reading for content. Things Belleville did not teach at all. Mediocre to subpar was good enough. With that said...to do list and letters must be printed..never learned cursive writing. My advice, hire a certified teacher and educate them at home. Bloomfield college rocks with special services..Margaret fights for our child to be properly educated. Subpar education is never okay."

"Special services called to ask us to complete a survey for our daughter a year after she graduated. I called back to ask how to complete this said survey..."I have no idea what you are talking ab out." Loved that answer...Ill answer your survey on here. We spend over $1200 a month having our daughter tutored to teach her things she never learned from Belleville High School. She was unable to write an entire paper by herself nor able to make complete complex sentences. We had to teach her APA and MLA writing styles. We learned of adaptive equipment to be used with her iPhone that takes notes for her, digital text books that read to her and many more things that have furthered her education. To date, she is on the honor roll and deans list; with that said she barely made it out of high school. I suggest to other parents educate your child at home. Its worth every penny. She is so confident in herself she got her first job within 2 days. Ben and Marsha Cerca"

"This school is getting worse every year. The only reason I stay here is because of my friends. They got rid of dance, they ruined enrichment period, and some staff don't belong in an educational environment."
