Summary

Bellevue Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Northgate School District in Pittsburgh, PA, with 327 students and a student-teacher ratio of 11.8. While the school has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, it outperforms the district and the state of Pennsylvania in several key academic metrics.

Bellevue Elementary's math proficiency for all grades is 49.7%, compared to 39.3% for the district and 41.7% for the state, and its 3rd grade math proficiency is 67.5%, compared to 61.3% for the district and 53.5% for the state. The school also excels in science proficiency, with 79.4% of students proficient, compared to 61.2% for the district and 65.8% for the state. However, Bellevue lags behind the state in 6th grade math (26.4% vs. 37.8%) and English Language Arts (38.3% vs. 50.8%).

Bellevue Elementary serves a predominantly underprivileged student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average. This high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds highlights the significant challenges and resource needs of the school's student population. The school's higher per-student spending of $22,916 in 2022-2023 suggests that additional resources and targeted interventions are required to support the academic and social-emotional development of these students. Nearby schools like Highcliff Elementary and West View Elementary in the North Hills School District demonstrate that strong academic outcomes are possible, even with high-poverty student populations.
