Belleview is a great school. I am all about providing the best I can for my son and this school meets my expectations for education. He has excelled at this school and continues to grow. The staff is friendly and very professional. The principal knows the students by name and greets everyone with a smile. A great school to send your kids.

Belleview is a wonderful school! I couldn't ask for my children to loved more than they are at Belleview. The principle is involved in daily activities and knows each student by name. The teachers are so wonderful my kids love going to school and visiting past teachers. Belleview makes learning fun.

Belleview is a great school! We have been there four years and we've had several wonderful years! The teachers we've had (seasoned and new ones) have been very hands on and creative with their teaching skills.

I have children ranging in age from 15-9 so we have spent a lot of years in the school district. We have moved twice in those 15 years, once across state, so we have been in a few different schools. Belleview elementary is hands down the best school we have ever attended. The principal is top notch and the teachers are some of the most talented around. There is almost zero teacher turnover and they love those kids like they are their own. I love volunteering there and getting to know all of the staff and children in the school. It's truly a family, which I know is just so cliche but it's the truth. Belleview Rocks!!

This a top notch school, because nothing is more important to the faculty and staff at this school, than the educational and personal well being of each of the students. I can't think of a better place or group of people I'd rather volunteer or work for, they are a tremendous asset to the community, the students as well families they serve. Two of my kids went to Belleview and now my grandchild attends.

My daughter loves Belleview. She is in the 4th grade, and she has had excellent teachers all 5 years. I love the school, and how they encourage parents to be involved. I feel welcomed as soon as i walk in the door....

Belleview Elementary School is a wonderful place to work because of the family environment and the extra effort put in by all of the teachers at the school.

It has been the most wonderful experience for my kids being at this school. We have excellent staff and they work very hard to not only meet each child where they're at, but challenge them in a positive environment to reach for the stars!

Being a part of Belleview School is like being in a caring, concerned family. Each child and family is important and the faculty and staff work together as a team to meet the educational needs of our students and families. It is a great place to be.

My daughter attends this school and I would not send her anywhere else. She has always had intelligent, caring teachers who know about their subject and how to teach it. The school is clean, well cared for, and inviting. The teachers treat the students as if they were their own children and really look out for them. The school integrates a lot of technology and has a lot of opportunities for the arts and physical education. I wish more people knew just how great this school is!

Belleview has been great for my 2nd grader. She's had great teachers that put a lot of energy into the class. I like how they are trying to look for alternative rewards to fattening foods as well as trying to offer more healthy choices in the cafeteria to help with childhood obesity. Any concerns are always listened to and the staff are friendly and helpful.

I love Belleview elementary because not only do they care about the students and their success but you see it through the progress of the children.

This is a warm and caring environment where children are encouraged and expected to learn! My children transfered from a private school that we believed would give them the opportunity to excel in smaller classes and a more 'Christian' caring setting. What we found was that the private school could not hold a candle to the academic challenge and the sincere caring offered by the faculty and staff at Belleview. One of my children was suspected of having ADD/ADHD at the prior school. What a joy it has been to see that our child was not in need of medication but rather in need of greater challenges and expectations! Our child has risen to the challenge and is very happy at (in her words) this 'super smart school'! Hats off to Belleview!

Mrs. Sharp, the principal, is so hands on she is great. She is a fast problem solver and is very encouraging towards the children. She is a real gem. My daughter started school at Belleview 2002 after the reassignment at first we did not want her to go to Belleview but she is doing so much better there! She got honor role twice. Last year she attended Independence. At Independence, she had to go to summer school because she was doing so poorly. I found the teachers to be very hateful to the students at Independence Elementary but the teachers are much more attentive to childrens needs at Belleview. I feel the reassignment was a blessing in disguise for my daughter.
