I am currently a student at Belleville-Henderson Central School, and i personally think it is amazing. The teachers are very encouraging and you realize how much you have in common with them. With such a small school you know practically everyone at the school. With small classes you get more hands on privileges. It is a wonderful learning opportunity.

I went to this school from kindergarten to 3rd grade and i loved this school. All the teachers cared very much about me and i always did well. The school has many after school activities the band was great and i always enjoyed listening to the chorus. The school might be smaill but it still offered much learning oppurtunities.

While this school offers some excellent teachers and a few good oppurtunities, overall the quality of education avaible is dismal. There are many burnt-out, unproffesional, and uncaring teachers. There are few extracurricular activites available as well. One of the biggest problems at this school is favoritism. Students whose parents grew up in the district tend to be treated better, as do those who live in Belleville. Also, many teachers show favoritism towards the more athletic individuals. Brown-nosing is not only rewarded, but encouraged. Students who are related to staff members are also likely to receive special treatment. If you are planning on moving to the area, I would reccomend living in either the Sandy Creek, Sackets Harbor,or South Jefferson school district as these are all superior schools and have much more to offer to your child.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
