Summary

Belle Valley School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Belleville, Illinois, with 977 students. The school is part of the Belle Valley School District 119, which is ranked 536 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belle Valley School has faced several key challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 24.3% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and Illinois Science Assessment (ISA), is generally below state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 48.4% of students were proficient in ELA and 25% were proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5% respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively well, but students with disabilities and low socioeconomic status students performing poorly.

When comparing Belle Valley School to nearby schools, such as Henry Raab Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary, and Wingate Elementary, which are all within a 4-mile radius, these schools generally outperform Belle Valley School academically, despite serving similar demographics. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as student engagement, teacher quality, and targeted interventions, may be contributing to Belle Valley School's relatively poor academic outcomes, and there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the area.
