The Belton school district in Missouri consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 36.71% to 58.64% across the schools. While the district has a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, Wilckens STEAM Academy @Hillcrest and Belton High School stand out as the district's strongest performers, consistently ranking among the top 30-40% of schools in Missouri.
Wilckens STEAM Academy @Hillcrest, an elementary school, has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its students perform significantly above the district and state averages in math and English language arts. Belton High School also stands out, with a strong 90.9% 4-year graduation rate and relatively low 0.9% dropout rate. Its test scores in Algebra II and English II are above the state average as well.
However, the district faces challenges with middle school performance, as Belton Middle School and Mill Creek Upper Elementary have lower performance and rankings compared to the elementary and high schools. Additionally, all schools in the Belton 124 district report a high 21.4% chronic absenteeism rate, which is an area for improvement.
