Summary

Bellview Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Eastpointe, MI, serving 202 students within the Eastpointe Community Schools district, where nearly all families (over 90%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Bellview faces significant challenges. Academic proficiency rates on state tests are among the lowest in Michigan, placing the school in the bottom 5% statewide. For example, only about 6% of 3rd graders met state standards in reading and math, compared to state averages of 38% and 43%. Chronic absenteeism is a critical issue—64% of students miss enough school to be considered chronically absent, which is more than double the state average of 28%. This rate is also much higher than at nearby schools in the Roseville Community Schools district, such as Joseph G Steenland Elementary School (36%) and Ruth H Green Elementary School (45%).

What makes this particularly striking is that schools just a mile or two away—like Dort Elementary School and Kaiser Elementary School—serve families with similar income levels yet achieve proficiency rates two to three times higher. For instance, 5th-grade reading proficiency at Bellview is 15%, compared to 33% at Dort and 41% at Kaiser. Bellview actually spends more per student ($20,383) than those higher-performing schools, which raises questions about how resources are being used. There is one bright spot: 4th-grade reading scores have been consistently stronger than the district average for two years running, suggesting a particular teacher or program in that grade may offer a model worth replicating. However, the overall picture points to systemic issues—especially around attendance and instructional effectiveness—that need urgent attention.

Wednesday, October 31, 2012

Unfriendly principle.48 to 35 students to class.The teacher my child has now seems depress always crying about her life.The teacher even stated to her class that her life stinks.My child is stress out from the lack of correct discipline.Correct the kids that are bad not the good ones too.My child use to be excited about learning -not no more.Teachers screaming all the time and the noon aides have power trips as well.Noon aides hen peck the parents as well about parking.You'll be stress out about parking there.Heck they'll even call the cops on parents who are trying to pick up their kids for pets sakes!The education went down big time there.There is no respect for parents there thats why parents don't get involved.I hate hate East Detroit schools.I will be looking at different districts.
