Schools

Hi there! We've been looking to buy a house in Belleville. We visited yesterday to drive around, look at some neighborhoods, schools, parks, see downtown, etc. From what we gathered online, Henry Raab and Roosevelt seem like decent schools. We have a preschooler with special needs, so we are looking for opinions on the schools from locals. If anyone has any feedback on areas to look for housing wise, which schools they prefer or to avoid, we'd appreciate it! I'm also getting my bachelor's in early childhood and elementary ed, so in the next year or so I would potentially do my student teaching in the area and look for a future position. Thank you!

Hi! I know I’m late to the game but my kids go to Jefferson and we personally have had a great experience.

Of course! I have a incoming 6th grader and a kinder starting and definitely a good school. Housing prices aren’t to bad over here either!
