Summary

Bellview Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Eastpointe, Michigan, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 226 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Michigan elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges.

Bellview Elementary has faced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 29.5% to 65% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's performance is also a concern, with only 6.8% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 6.8% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 38.9% and 39.8%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students from low-income families, with 84.82% to 90.27% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the state and district averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Pleasantview Elementary, the closest school, had much higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math. Bellview Elementary's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students with special needs, whose rankings are in the bottom 20-25% of Michigan elementary schools. Despite these challenges, there is little evidence of improvement over time, as the school's rankings and proficiency rates have remained stagnant or even declined in recent years.

Open Quote 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.
