Belpre High School

My whole entire family has gone to Belpre and i love it here.Yes,are classes are lacking some,but we do know the basics to get us to the next grade level.I,myself am in a higher math class than other students in my grade.There are only 20 students that are in a higher class like I am,it is challanging but thats the way i like it.But,they do cancel school alot.If the wind blows the wrong way.we dont have school.They have gotten better now.It is sad to see teachers,students,and staff moving to other schools because of the quality here.It is not the quality,it is the students.There are many bad influences at Belpre Junior High,and Belpre High School that you can fall under the influence of.Our disciplinary system could be stronger.right now all they do is give us 'a slap on the wrist' metaphorically speaking,and then move on with it.

Sadly enough, things are not quite as good as they used to be. Enrollment continues to drop with families moving out of a city that is struggling financially. Many opt to leave and attend neighboring schools with open enrollment allowed. More money leaves our schools and programs and qualified teachers are just not here any longer. Our city is struggling. Our area economy was once thriving with the chemical plants in our area, but that too is slowly changing for the worse. The Supt. of Schools lives in Marietta, not even a part of the community which is sad. Another administrator lives in the township, but sends his children to a catholic school in West Virginia. It takes a strong city government, strong leadership in the schools system, and solid job opportunities to draw and keep people here and we have none of these.

This school offers only the minimum requirement when it comes to academics and takes no pride in extracurricular activities. Parents are highly involved in this school, and are truly the only people holding this school to the standards set by the state. This school takes too much pride in its weird assemblies and less on academics and the quality of the environment.

Too many things are broken at the high school. Too many teeachers don't really teach. Too many problems happen too often. We don't have air condition in any of the buildign so the students can't focus when it's hot due to the heat.
