Summary

Belmar Elementary is a PK-5 public school in the Amarillo Independent School District (Isd) serving 385 students in Amarillo, TX, with about 52% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. This school has a strong and consistent track record of academic performance, historically ranking in the top 15-20% of Texas elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for over a decade. While its current ranking of 1201 out of 4627 (74th percentile) represents a slight dip from recent peaks, Belmar remains a solidly above-average choice, especially for families seeking stability in a school's performance.

Belmar stands out from nearby schools due to its remarkable consistency. While peers like Paramount Terrace Elementary and Ridgecrest Elementary have experienced significant year-over-year ranking swings, Belmar has never ranked below the 84th percentile in recent years. The school excels in Reading, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders scoring 59%, 63%, and 70% proficient respectively—significantly higher than district and state averages. This strength is particularly notable when compared to schools like Avondale Elementary and Wills Elementary, which struggle to meet state averages in Reading. Belmar also achieves strong results despite moderate demographics, outperforming schools with lower poverty rates like Puckett Elementary (32% free/reduced lunch) and dramatically outperforming those with higher poverty rates.

However, there are warning signs to watch. Mathematics performance has declined notably, with 5th-grade Math proficiency dropping from 79% to 53% in recent years. Additionally, subgroup performance for Hispanic Students, English Language Learners, and Special Education Students has slipped to 2-star ratings, suggesting challenges in supporting all student populations. Nearby Windsor Elementary (87th percentile) and Sleepy Hollow Elementary (83rd percentile) now rank higher than Belmar for the first time in years. Despite these concerns, Belmar's efficient use of resources—spending $11,324 per student, less than some peers with lower poverty rates—and its proven track record make it a reliable choice for families prioritizing reading proficiency and consistent performance.
