Belmont Elementary School

I used to teach at Belmont and it was one of the worst teaching experiences in my life! I had previously taught at another school in PWCS for 10 years, which I left, only to have an experience in a new environment after ten years of being in the same school. Worst decision of my life! I should have stayed at the other school. The environment at Belmont is negative, toxic, unfriendly and unsupportive. Admin is not supportive or nice at all. They also stole some of my personal property when I was packing up my stuff to leave. I liked the kids, but I just could not stay in that school environment any more. I begged HR to move me to another school when my precious school did not have any openings, and they couldn’t even do that for me. If you’re a teacher, do NOT apply to work there and if you’re a parent of a student who attends Belmont or will one day, please be aware that it is a very unpleasant and unwelcoming place to be.

Wounded full job from teachers and teams but the school is to old

The scoring needs to be updated. Belmont under new leadership is a high performing school. Test scores in all subject areas increased significantly. Students are thriving and at least meeting expectations at all grade levels. The scores do not reflect the reality. My child has succeeded here since Kindergarten and continues to work above grade level. If you have doubts, come visit the school. You'll be pleasantly surprised!

In the past two years Belemont Elementary has been undergoing a lot of change. Change in administration, change in teachers, and change in test scores. The teachers that have continued on are obviously dedicated to the children and community and we appreciate them greatly. As a math and science specialty school, I am concerned to see such low math scores. The reading and math scores are low across the board. Until the administrators can find a way to work with the staff and parents to keep teachers and students happy at the school, it seems that Belmont will continue to be a below average school. Sadly, the people who actually live in Belmont Bay, less than a mile from this public school, choose private school or student placement elsewhere. It is truly a disservice to the community and Prince William County education.
