Summary:

Belleview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving around 650 students in grades PK-5 in Belleview, Florida. The school is part of the Marion School District, which is ranked 61 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belleview Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 37.0% to 37.2% in recent years, which is much higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Maplewood Elementary (26.0%) and South Ocala Elementary (31.7%). The school's test scores also lag behind state and district averages, with only 48% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 54% proficient in math, compared to 55% and 60% statewide, respectively. Additionally, Belleview Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.97% to 72.92%, which is higher than the rates of nearby schools.

Belleview Elementary's performance has declined over time, with its SchoolDigger ranking dropping from 1406 in 2015-2016 to 1710 in 2023-2024, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools. This suggests that the school faces unique challenges that the district may need to address, potentially through targeted interventions, additional resources, and strategies to improve student engagement and academic achievement. Despite its diverse student population, Belleview Elementary's struggles highlight the need for equitable support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

Open Quote This school has one of the best special education programs I have seen. In just 3 months my child went from failing all subjects to just needing improvement in 1 subject. They keep you informed and the teachers are wonderful. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
