Long Hot Summers - 7/30/2023
I've lived in this area for over 20 years. All in all, it's a good place to raise a family. Belton ISD has a good state rating. There is usually some sort of activity each weekend for families. I'm not sure how old the climate data is that Best Places uses in their statistics, but it seems a bit outdated. The average high temperature in this area for the past several years has exceeded well past 90 degrees during the summer months which drags on through September and sometimes October.

Belton Independent School District - 4/17/2010

Schools are about average or a bit lower than what you would expect for an area like this. If your kid is not into sports or rodeo or something like that there is very little for them to do here. They have a small water park but you can only go so many times before that is boring. The area lakes are nice and on the military reservation they have very nice facilities (fishing, water park, outdoor activities and such but you have to really be a military dependant or military to enjoy any of it. Wages run anywhere from $5.50 an hour to around
