Belleville East Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas elementary schools over the past five years, with performance on state assessments generally below the state and county averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, the school performs relatively better in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state and county.

Belleville East Elementary faces several challenges, including a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 12.2% in 2022-2023 to 19.5% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average. The school's per-student spending of $10,884 in 2018-2019 is lower than the nearby Concordia Elementary ($12,018) and Pike Valley Elementary ($15,407), which also demonstrate stronger academic outcomes, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. By addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, Belleville East Elementary can work to improve student outcomes and better serve the Belleville community.
