Summary

Bel-Nor is an elementary school located in Saint Louis, Missouri, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 269 students. It is part of the Normandy Schools Collaborative district, which has consistently struggled with low academic performance across its schools.

Bel-Nor's academic performance is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 15% of 3rd graders, 13.8% of 4th graders, and 15.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.4%, 43.8%, and 38.2%, respectively. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 43.1% to 57% over the past few years.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Normandy Schools Collaborative district, such as Washington Elementary and Jefferson Elementary, also perform poorly and have similar challenges to Bel-Nor. This suggests that the issues facing Bel-Nor are systemic within the district and not unique to the school. When compared to schools in the nearby Ferguson-Florissant R-II and Ritenour districts, the performance gap is even more pronounced, with those districts generally outperforming the Normandy Schools Collaborative district on various academic metrics.
