Belleville High School-West

Summary:

Belleville High School-West is a public high school serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,234 students in Belleville, Illinois, which is part of the Belleville Township High School District 201.

Belleville High School-West has consistently ranked in the middle to lower range of Illinois high schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school performs relatively better for its White and Homeless student populations, but struggles with its Multi-racial, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly lower than state averages. While the school maintains a high four-year graduation rate, its dropout rate has been higher than the state average. Notably, Belleville High School-West has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 28.1% in 2019-2020 to 37.5% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state average and the performance of nearby schools like Belleville High School-East and O'Fallon High School.

Compared to nearby schools, Belleville High School-East, a sister school within the same district, generally outperforms Belleville High School-West, while O'Fallon High School, in a neighboring district, significantly outperforms both Belleville High School-West and Belleville High School-East. Schools like Cahokia High School and East St. Louis Senior High School, located in nearby districts, struggle with even lower academic performance, higher dropout rates, and higher chronic absenteeism compared to Belleville High School-West. The school's challenges may be partly attributed to its relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which likely contributes to the academic difficulties and lower performance compared to more affluent neighboring districts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
