Bellefontaine Intermediate School faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 18.7% to 30.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics 3-10 percentage points lower than the state averages in 2024-2025. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with relatively strong performance for multi-racial students but lower rankings for white students and students with disabilities.
