Bellevue High School

Summary:

Bellevue High School is a public high school located in Bellevue, Kentucky, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 362 students. The school is part of the Bellevue Independent School District, which is ranked 152 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bellevue High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from a high of 52nd out of 267 Kentucky high schools in 2020-2021 to 229th out of 290 in 2023-2024. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male students generally outperforming female students. Additionally, the school's performance for White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds has been relatively low, ranking in the bottom quarter of Kentucky high schools in these categories. Bellevue High School's test scores are consistently below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, including ACT English, Math, and Reading, as well as the Kentucky State Assessments (KSA) in Mathematics, Reading, and other subjects.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Beechwood High School, Highlands High School, and Ludlow High School, Bellevue High School's performance is generally lower, with significantly higher statewide rankings, test scores, and other metrics. This may be due in part to the school's high rate of economic disadvantage among its student population, with 61.33% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. While the school's per-student spending has increased in recent years, the low performance suggests that additional resources and targeted interventions may be needed to improve student outcomes.

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.
