The transition from elementary school to middle school in Belmont occurs from 6th to 7th grade, slightly later than in most communities. In the fall of 2024, the Belmont School Administration plans to move the 4th grade level to the Chenery Upper Elementary School, and make the elementary schools for grades K-3. [8] This will mean the elementary schools will be for grades K-3 and the upper elementary school will be for grades 4-6. The middle school is for grades 7-8, and the high school is for grades 9-12.
