Summary

Bellevue Elementary School is a small PK–5 school in Bellevue, Idaho, serving 223 students as part of the Blaine County District. In the 2025–2026 ranking year, Bellevue placed 165th of 346 Idaho elementary schools (52nd percentile, 3 stars)—a significant improvement from the prior year's 30th-percentile ranking and a return to its early-2010s level of performance. Nearby schools include Alturas Elementary, Syringa Mountain Charter School, Hailey Elementary, and Ernest Hemingway STEAM School.

Academically, Bellevue's strongest results come in 5th grade, where 60% of students were proficient in both math and English language arts in 2025–2026, leading all nearby schools and topping district and state averages. But results are uneven: the same year, only 33.3% of 4th graders were proficient in math, well below the state's 48%. With just 223 students, grade-level classes are small, so a handful of students can swing proficiency rates. Chronic absenteeism is another challenge: 16.9% of students were chronically absent in 2025–2026, the highest among nearby schools. The encouraging news is that this rate has fallen from 34% four years earlier, and the school still outperforms neighbors with much lower absenteeism.

Bellevue's economic profile is moderate, with 47.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch—similar to Hailey (47.4%) and below Alturas (53.3%), but well above Hemingway (23.9%). The school spends $19,961 per student, the highest in the local group, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9. In the local ranking order, Bellevue sits behind Syringa Mountain Charter (82nd) and Hemingway (157th), but well ahead of Hailey (283rd) and Alturas (313th), making it the second-strongest traditional public school in the area. With strong resources, improving attendance, and demonstrated capacity for excellent outcomes, Bellevue appears to be on an upward trajectory.
