Bellaire Middle School

Summary:

Bellaire Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Bellaire, Ohio, with a student population of 357. The school is part of the Bellaire Local School District, which is ranked 349 out of 839 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bellaire Middle School is a strong-performing school, consistently outperforming the state average on Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the state in subjects like Science, Mathematics, and English Language Arts. The school also has particularly strong performance for its special education and low socioeconomic status student populations, ranking 45th out of 563 Ohio middle schools for its special education students and 224th out of 989 Ohio middle schools for its low socioeconomic status students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.6% in 2023-2024 is an area of concern that the school should address.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as St. Clairsville Middle School, Bellaire Middle School generally outperforms its peers in academic metrics. However, some nearby schools, like St. Clairsville Middle School, have higher overall statewide rankings and may offer additional resources or programs that Bellaire Middle School could consider implementing. Additionally, Bellaire Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 75th out of 1,001 Ohio middle schools in 2012-2013 to its current ranking of 338th out of 1,046 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school may be facing increasing competition from other high-performing middle schools in the state.

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.
