Public, Charter Grades K-6

Summary

Bellevue-Santa Fe Charter is a K–6 elementary school with 160 students in San Luis Obispo, in San Luis Coastal Unified. Its 2025–26 all-grades results were 84% proficient in English language arts, 76% in math, and 79% in science. The most important takeaway is that it led all 10 nearby schools in each of those three subjects.

Science is its standout strength compared with the state and district: Bellevue-Santa Fe was ahead of California by 43 points and the district by 24 points, while its lead over the next-highest nearby school was 6 points. Its ELA and math results also exceeded the state by 35 and 38 points, and the district by 16 and 19 points. In grades, however, math in fifth and sixth grade is a relative soft spot: Bellevue-Santa Fe scored 67% in each, compared with nearby leaders at 75% and 75%; it still exceeded state and district results in both grades. Attendance is another positive: its 2025–26 chronic absenteeism rate was 10%, 7 points below the district and 9 points below the state, and fourth-lowest among nearby schools with reported rates.

SchoolDigger gives Bellevue-Santa Fe a 97th statewide percentile and five stars for 2025–26; the next-highest nearby percentile is 89, and no nearby school has more than four stars. The school is also much smaller than its peers: it has 160 students, compared with 290 to 547 at nearby schools, which average 427. Its overall SchoolDigger percentile was 98 in 2017–18, close to its current ranking. The supplied data do not show earlier test scores or a year-by-year ranking history, and Bellevue-Santa Fe’s last reported student-teacher ratio (22.8) and free/reduced lunch eligible figure (11%) are from 2017–18, so they do not establish score trends or support current comparisons with nearby schools’ 2024–25 figures.
