Summary:
The Bellevue Union school district in California is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, a few standout institutions demonstrate the potential for academic success in the district.
Bellevue Elementary is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 3,536 out of 5,862 California elementary schools. It consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grade levels, with 36.45% of students proficient in ELA at the end-of-course level. Taylor Mountain Elementary also stands out, with the highest 5th-grade ELA proficiency (38.98%) and 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency (37.04%) among the 4 schools.
However, all 4 schools in the Bellevue Union district face significant challenges, including chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.8% to 37.9%, well above the state average of 14.3%. Additionally, the schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While the district's schools generally perform below state averages in academic proficiency, the success of Bellevue Elementary and Taylor Mountain Elementary suggests that with the right interventions, the other schools can also improve and better serve their students.
