Summary

Belleview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 675 students in grades PK-5 in Belleview, Florida. The school is part of the Marion School District, which is ranked 62 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Belleview Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a ranking between 1221 and 1967 over the past several years and a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belleview Elementary faces several key challenges. The school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 35.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Its test scores also lag behind both the Marion district and the state of Florida across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025 only 40% of 5th graders were proficient in science, compared to 43% for the district and 55% statewide. Additionally, Belleview Elementary has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.15% to 72.92% over the past few years, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.

When comparing Belleview Elementary to other nearby schools in the Marion district, it consistently underperforms on key metrics. For instance, Maplewood Elementary and Marion Charter School have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and math. Additionally, Belleview Elementary's relatively low per-student spending, between $9,691 and $10,945, suggests the school may be facing resource constraints that make it difficult to improve student outcomes.

Admin staff seems to have no logic to their actions or lack of actions...poor communication at best...they use telephone robot....hit 0 and you get Voice Mail and your call is never returned. Close Quote

This school has one of the best special education programs I have seen. In just 3 months my child went from failing all subjects to just needing improvement in 1 subject. They keep you informed and the teachers are wonderful. Close Quote
