Summary

Bellaire Elementary School in Bossier City, LA, serves 406 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 3rd grade and is part of the Bossier Parish school district, which ranks in the top third of Louisiana districts.

Bellaire has a strong history of performance, consistently earning top ratings for nearly a decade. However, recent data shows a significant drop in its statewide rank, falling from the 87th percentile to the 50th percentile. This decline is broad-based, affecting most student groups, including those from low-income backgrounds and students receiving special education services. The school's test scores have also become volatile, swinging dramatically from year to year. One bright spot is that African American students at Bellaire continue to perform well, ranking in the 75th percentile statewide. A key factor to consider is that Bellaire only serves grades PK-3, meaning its entire student body turns over every few years. This makes the school highly sensitive to the readiness of each new kindergarten cohort, which may explain some of the recent performance swings.

For context, nearby Sun City Elementary School, less than a mile away and serving the same grades, has been on a steady upward trend and now ranks in the 71st percentile. This suggests that strong performance is achievable in the same neighborhood. Additionally, A.C. Steere Elementary School, just a few miles away in the Caddo Parish district, is a high-performing outlier, ranking in the 78th percentile. While Bellaire has faced recent challenges, its historical strength and the success of nearby schools indicate it has the potential to recover and return to its previous level of excellence.

I love working at Bellaire. The school environment very much feels like a family, and students and teachers are happy to be here. We have the privelege of serving
Air Force families and have two classes serving children with Autism. Close Quote
