Bellehaven Elementary

Summary:

Bellehaven Elementary is a public elementary school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 234 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 89 out of 119 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bellehaven Elementary consistently underperforms the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grades. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Bellehaven's proficiency rates were 28% in ELA, 17% in Math, and 28% in Science, compared to the state averages of 39%, 25%, and 36%, respectively. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the past few years, with no significant improvements observed. Bellehaven's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students, and Hispanic and White students having lower rankings compared to the state, while Native American and English Language Learner students perform better relative to their peers. Students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds also struggle, with lower rankings compared to the state.

The nearby schools in the Albuquerque district, such as Mark Twain Elementary, La Mesa Elementary, and Tomasita Elementary, also struggle with low test scores and performance, similar to Bellehaven Elementary. However, there are a few exceptions, such as Inez Elementary and Alice King Community School, which perform significantly better than Bellehaven and the surrounding schools. The high concentration of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 100% free and reduced lunch rate, may be a contributing factor to Bellehaven's overall academic performance, and the school could benefit from a comprehensive review of its educational programs and teaching practices to identify areas for improvement.

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.
