Summary:
The city of Belton, Texas is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve students across a range of grade levels and are part of the Belton Independent School District (ISD), as well as the Orenda Charter School and the University Of Texas University Charter School districts.
Among the standout schools in Belton are Lakewood Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state with a 5-star rating and significantly higher proficiency rates in reading, math, and science compared to the district and state averages. Belton High School also stands out, with a strong 94.9% four-year graduation rate and relatively low 0.5% dropout rate, as well as above-average performance on STAAR end-of-course exams. Additionally, the public charter school Nolan Creek School outperforms the district and state in reading and math proficiency, particularly in the lower grades.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Southwest Elementary and Miller Heights Elementary. This suggests the need to further investigate the factors contributing to these disparities and implement targeted interventions to support student success across the district.
