The Belvidere School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Belvidere Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 256 students. The school's performance has been consistently low, with a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, indicating significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students.

The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.8%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, nearly 30% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's struggles.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.3 to 1, this does not appear to be translating into improved academic performance.
