Summary

Belforest Elementary School in Daphne, AL, is a large, highly regarded K-6 school serving 1,069 students as part of the Baldwin County district, and it has earned a solid 4-star rating for four consecutive years.

For parents, the headline is consistency. Belforest has ranked in the top 12-15% of Alabama elementary schools every year since 2022, with its statewide position barely moving—a sign of dependable, sustainable teaching rather than a one-year fluke. Academically, the school shines brightest in English/Language Arts, where proficiency rates in grades 3-5 land between 77% and 86%, outpacing state averages by 15-20 points. Math is also strong, especially in 3rd and 4th grades, though there is a noticeable dip by 6th grade (52% proficiency)—still well above the state's 35% average. One of the school's most impressive stats is its chronic absenteeism rate of just 7.2%, nearly half the state average, which speaks to strong family engagement and a positive school culture. Belforest also earns top marks for specific student groups, ranking 2nd in the state for military-connected students and in the 95th percentile for English Language Learners.

Compared to nearby options, Belforest holds its own. It outperforms its closest neighbor, Daphne East Elementary, in most subjects, and far surpasses Silverhill School, which trails by 20-40 points in proficiency. However, Fairhope West Elementary and Rockwell Elementary do post higher overall rankings and stronger upper-grade math scores. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.8:1 and a relatively affluent student body (only 24% qualify for free/reduced lunch), Belforest offers a stable, high-quality education—a reliable choice for families seeking strong academics and excellent attendance in the Daphne area.
