Summary

Bellaire MiddleHigh School is a small, rural public school in Bellaire, MI, serving just 140 students in grades 6 through 12 as part of the Bellaire Public Schools district.

This school stands out for its exceptional commitment to seeing students through to graduation. With a 95.8% graduation rate—well above the state average of 84.0%—Bellaire outperforms nearby Boyne City High School (93.1%), Kalkaska High School (91.8%), and Mancelona High School (86.7%). The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $24,581 per student—nearly double what Elk Rapids High School spends—and maintains a low 12.2 student-teacher ratio, ensuring plenty of individual attention. Academically, Bellaire shows a clear strength in literacy: 82.6% of 9th graders were proficient in PSAT ELA and 70.6% of 11th graders met SAT reading and writing benchmarks, both far exceeding state averages.

However, there are some challenges worth noting. While the school earned a 4-star rating (74th percentile) for 2025-2026—a strong rebound from the prior year—this success isn't uniform. Only 21.1% of 7th graders were proficient in math, well below the state average, and there's a significant gender gap, with female students ranking in the 73rd percentile versus just the 35th for males. Additionally, 26.1% of students are chronically absent, a rate much higher than at Elk Rapids High School (12.1%) or Boyne City High School (13.5%). Despite the high spending and small classes, test scores don't consistently outpace less-resourced neighbors like Elk Rapids, suggesting the district may want to examine how its substantial investment translates into classroom results. Still, for parents seeking a close-knit environment where students are highly likely to graduate, Bellaire offers a compelling option.
