Belmont Central is continuing its commitment to excellent academics! We rank among the top 10 schools in Gaston County for having the highest student proficiency, we met our academic growth expectations, and we earned a B school performance grade, which is challenging to achieve on the state accountability and testing program.

Providing care for students at school

Thanks to our partnership with Kintegra Health, we offer a telehealth clinic here at our school. Students, who are experiencing a minor illness or condition, can be seen by a medical provider virtually. This allows us to provide care for students without them having to leave school to go to the doctor.
