Summary:
The Bellevue Public Schools district in Nebraska is home to three middle schools: Lewis & Clark Middle School, Logan Fontenelle Middle School, and Bellevue Mission Middle School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and provide a range of educational opportunities within the Bellevue community.
Among the three middle schools, Lewis & Clark Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings and outperforming the district and state averages in academic test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, 70.46% of 7th-grade students at Lewis & Clark were proficient or better in NSCAS/English Language Arts, compared to 66.67% for the Bellevue Public Schools district and 58.41% for the state of Nebraska. Similarly, 78.99% of 8th-grade students at Lewis & Clark were proficient or better in NSCAS/Mathematics, surpassing the district's 64.22% and the state's 57.43%.
While the three middle schools share a common chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, which is higher than the state average, they differ in their socioeconomic factors and resource allocation. Logan Fontenelle Middle School and Bellevue Mission Middle School have significantly higher rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, at 51.07% and 48.93% respectively, compared to 24% at Lewis & Clark Middle School. Additionally, the spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary across the three schools, suggesting that resources may not be evenly distributed within the district.
