Summary

Bellview Elementary School in Pensacola, FL, serves 513 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the Escambia school district, where 69.59% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school is a remarkable turnaround story, rising from the 5th percentile in state rankings in 2021-2022 to the 58th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating for the last two years. It now outperforms many nearby schools, including West Pensacola Elementary School (13th percentile), Oakcrest Elementary School (15th percentile), and Brentwood Elementary School (7th percentile), while also surpassing Myrtle Grove Elementary School (14th percentile) and Longleaf Elementary School (37th percentile).

Bellview’s academic strengths are most evident in math and science. In 2025-2026, math proficiency rates were 65% for 3rd grade, 69% for 4th grade, and 68% for 5th grade—the highest among all nearby schools, including Beulah Elementary School (66% in 4th grade) and Montclair Elementary School (69% in 4th grade). In 5th-grade science, Bellview achieved a 72% proficiency rate in 2024-2025, dramatically outperforming the district (56%) and state (55%) averages, and topping nearby schools like Beulah (63%). English Language Arts (ELA) scores have also improved dramatically, with 3rd-grade ELA jumping from 24% in 2022-2023 to 67% in 2025-2026, surpassing the district (57%) and state (60%) averages—a 43-percentage-point increase in just three years.

Despite these gains, Bellview faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which was 40.0% in 2023-2024, higher than the district (33.5%) and state (31.4%) averages, though similar to nearby schools like Montclair (45.9%) and Oakcrest (44.6%). The school’s per-student spending ($12,151) and student-teacher ratio (15:1) are in the mid-range compared to neighbors, with Lincoln Park Elementary School spending more ($14,647) and Jackie Harris Preparatory Academy spending less ($6,233). This suggests Bellview’s success stems from effective use of resources rather than simply having more. Overall, Bellview is a standout example of progress in the Escambia district, achieving strong academic results despite significant socioeconomic challenges.
