What Parents Should Know

At 9.4:1 students to teachers, Belmont Career Center sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Belmont Career Center sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.

91% of students at Belmont Career Center were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
