Bellaire Public Schools

The Bellaire Public Schools district in Michigan consists of two schools: Bellaire MiddleHigh School and John R Rodger Elementary School. While Bellaire MiddleHigh School demonstrates strong academic performance, ranking in the top 12% of Michigan high schools, John R Rodger Elementary School shows more mixed results, with some grade levels exceeding state averages and others falling behind.

Bellaire MiddleHigh School stands out with its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, 88.4% 4-year graduation rate, and high proficiency rates in subjects like 11th grade Science and Social Studies, and 8th grade PSAT English Language Arts. In contrast, John R Rodger Elementary School maintains a 3-star rating and has impressive 3rd grade proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts, but the overall academic performance is more varied.

Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, around 30%, and a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic challenges in the district. The resource allocation, with John R Rodger Elementary spending more per student than Bellaire MiddleHigh School, suggests a focus on supporting the elementary-level education, though the academic performance data suggests more work is needed to ensure consistent strong outcomes across all grade levels in the Bellaire Public Schools district.
