Summary

Belleview Elementary is a small, K-8 school of 148 students in Sonora, operating as its own district, with a student-teacher ratio of 16.4 and nearly half of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academic performance at Belleview has varied significantly from year to year, more so than at nearby stable, high-performing schools like Soulsbyville Elementary. However, the school has shown remarkable strength in supporting its economically disadvantaged students, whose scores have ranked in the 90th percentile statewide in recent years, outperforming other local schools with similar student populations. In the most recent data, Belleview's math and science proficiency rates exceed the California state average, a notable achievement compared to several neighboring schools, and it manages this with lower per-student spending than schools like Tenaya Elementary.

There are notable differences in performance across grade levels within the school, and chronic absenteeism, while improved and below the state average, remains an area of focus. The school's small size is a defining characteristic, contributing to both its challenges with consistency and its potential for personalized attention. For parents, Belleview presents a picture of a community school with specific, powerful strengths, particularly for students in need, alongside the typical fluctuations of a smaller institution.
