Bellaire School (The)

Summary:

Bellaire School (The) is an elementary school located in Queens Village, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 746 students. It is part of the New York City Geographic District #29, which is ranked 574 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bellaire School (The) has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with performance on state assessments generally below the district and state averages across grades and subjects. The school struggles to serve certain student subgroups effectively, with Asian and homeless students consistently ranking in the bottom 25% of New York elementary schools in their respective subgroups. However, African American and special education students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 50% of schools in their subgroups. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggests a focus on resource allocation.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district generally perform better than Bellaire School (The) on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in both ELA and math. However, some of the schools in the neighboring New York City Geographic District #26 significantly outperform Bellaire School (The) and the rest of District #29, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher. This lack of significant progress over an extended period suggests that the school may face persistent challenges in improving student outcomes, particularly in areas such as targeted interventions for struggling subgroups and strengthening the science curriculum.

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.
