St. Joseph school in Belding has been 'just what the Dr. ordered' for our two daughters. They have grown so much academically and spiritually. They have a very strong faith. The classes are small and they recieve a lot of inividual attention. Music, Art, gym, and sports are all available to them. They go to the library once a month. There is a lot of parental involvement.

St. Joseph School in Belding does a wonderful job of preparing students academically while helping to build their moral character. The classes are small so there is great opportunity for individual attention. The older students are taught and encouraged to be role models and leaders for the younger students. There are no fights on the playground and no disrespect in the classroom. Community service is part of the curriculum. The school has been a stable part of the community for 50 years and a majority of recent valedictorians from Belding high school got their start at St. Joseph School. That's impressive.

Test scores

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Teachers

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
