Belvidere Elementary

Summary:

Belvidere Elementary is a public elementary school in Grandview, Missouri, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Grandview C-4 School District. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Belvidere Elementary's student performance on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, only 40.8% of 3rd graders, 40.7% of 4th graders, and 34.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better in MAP Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 40.8%, 44.4%, and 38.4%, respectively. The school also has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31% to 42% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's performance for African American students has been relatively strong, ranking in the top 25 Missouri elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Meadowmere Elementary and schools in the Belton 124 School District, like Cambridge Elementary and Wilckens STEAM Academy @Hillcrest, Belvidere Elementary's student performance is significantly lower. Despite an increase in per-student spending over the years, the school's academic outcomes have not improved significantly, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges facing the school and its diverse student population.

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.
