Summary

Bellevue-Santa Fe Charter is a 163-student K–6 elementary school in San Luis Obispo, California, compared here with 10 nearby schools. In 2024–2025, it had the highest all-grade results among the 11 schools in ELA, math and science: 83%, 75% and 68%, respectively. Its standout finding is that it led the nearby-school comparison in all three tested subjects.

Its results were also well above California’s: 83% in ELA versus 49% statewide, 75% in math versus 37%, and 68% in science versus 33%. It exceeded nearby-school averages by 22 percentage points in ELA, 22 in math and 26 in science. Within the school, however, fourth-grade math was a relative weak spot at 63%, 13 points below the school’s all-grade math result; third-grade ELA was 68%, 15 points below its all-grade ELA result. No comparable districtwide test results were supplied for the Bellevue-Santa Fe Charter District.

Results remain strong, but science has declined: it fell 11 points from 2022–2023 to 2024–2025, while ELA rose 5 points and math rose 2 points overall; both ELA and math were lower in the latest year than the year before. SchoolDigger ranked the school 355th of 5,857 statewide in 2024–2025, at the 94th percentile with five stars, the highest percentile and star rating among nearby schools with comparable histories. Its 23.2 student-teacher ratio was above the nearby-school average of 21.6, and three nearby schools had higher ratios. In 2024–2025, 16.6% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible—the lowest reported rate among nearby schools, whose rates ranged from 23.6% to 82.3%.
