Bellevue Elementary School

Summary:

Bellevue Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Northgate School District in Pittsburgh, PA. The school has 317 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11.8.

Bellevue Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Pennsylvania elementary schools, receiving 2-3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger over the past decade. The school's academic performance, as measured by PSSA test scores, is generally below the state and district averages, with 37.7% of students proficient or better in Math and 55.9% proficient or better in English Language Arts. This is likely due to the school's very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. However, Bellevue Elementary's performance for specific student subgroups, such as White students and students with disabilities, is more competitive.

When compared to nearby schools, Bellevue Elementary's performance is generally lower than the Avalon Elementary School, which is also in the Northgate School District. Bellevue also lags significantly behind schools in the higher-performing North Hills School District, such as Ross Elementary. However, Bellevue Elementary has shown some signs of improvement in recent years, with its ranking among Pennsylvania elementary schools rising and its ELA proficiency rates increasing.

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.
