My son is not an official student at this school yet, However we have worked with them though school district evaluations s and although he didnt require any special education programs through the state or school district they were very helpful and have him to attendant an occupational therapy one a week to work on some of the skills he needs improvement on, They also made sure we are on the mailing list for Kindergarten next year, My son loves going to the big kid school to learn, The teachers we have meet as well as the principal and office assistants have all been amazing with him. We plan on moving this year and I am going to try my hardest to stay in the BES district so my son can experience this amazing school full time. I know he will flourish here.

I have three children in the school system, one of which has a developmental delay (mostly speech). The school has been incredible, my kids have flourished. They have transportation, a great playground, fantastic sports programs, and the parent/volunteer involvement is the best I've ever seen. If you are considering Belmont, the high school and elementary schools are fantastic! Happy Dad

I would recommend this school to anyone. All teachers were excellent and they all cared about the children. I felt my kids were very safe attending this school. My kids had so many extra activities to choose from.The Principal was the best ever and was very very involved with the students. Overall I was very very impressed with the school unfortunately we moved, and have yet not found as good of a school as this one

All three of my children attended Belmont Elementary school and experienced a wonderful education with many extras that are not available at other schools. Expectations are high.

Not to impressed. Teachers didn't call me when my child had an issue they waited to contact me for anything. They allowed sloppy work, didn't make her do it over again, just graded it as is. She does much better, they even have seen what she can do.
