Summary

Bellevue West Senior High School is a public high school in Bellevue, Nebraska, serving 1,558 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Bellevue Public Schools district, which is ranked 98 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bellevue West has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 61st out of 202 Nebraska high schools in 2021-2022 (4-star rating) to 129th out of 215 in 2022-2023 (2-star rating). The school has shown strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, but has struggled with the performance of other subgroups, like White students. Bellevue West maintains relatively high four-year graduation rates, but has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates in recent years. The school's 11th-grade ACT proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have been mixed, with some years performing above the Bellevue Public Schools and Nebraska state averages, and other years falling below.

Compared to nearby schools, Bellevue West's performance is generally stronger than its in-district counterpart, Bellevue East Senior High School, but lags behind other high-performing schools in the region, such as Papillion La Vista Senior High. Bellevue West has a relatively high per-student spending level, but this does not seem to translate into significantly smaller class sizes compared to nearby schools.
