Summary:
The 52031 zip code area is home to two schools, Bellevue Elementary School and Bellevue High School, both part of the Bellevue Community School District. While Bellevue Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25-35% of Iowa elementary schools, earning 4 out of 5 stars, Bellevue High has consistently ranked in the bottom 25-35% of Iowa high schools, earning only 1-2 out of 5 stars.
Bellevue Elementary stands out with significantly above-average test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 20%, and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.5 to 1. In contrast, Bellevue High School's test scores are generally below the state averages, and the school has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 25.69%, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population.
The stark performance difference between the elementary and high school suggests there may be significant differences in the quality of education, resources, or other factors between the two school levels within the district. Understanding the underlying factors contributing to this gap, such as socioeconomic influences and resource allocation, could provide valuable insights for the district to address and improve the high school's academic outcomes.
