High Schools in Bellevue Public Schools

Summary:

The Bellevue Public Schools district in Nebraska is home to two high schools: Bellevue West Senior High School and Bellevue East Senior High School. Neither school stands out as a clear top performer, with both exhibiting similar profiles and academic outcomes.

Both Bellevue West and Bellevue East Senior High Schools rank in the bottom half of Nebraska high schools, with Bellevue West ranking between 110-129 and Bellevue East ranking between 131-189 out of 146-215 schools. Their 4-year graduation rates and chronic absenteeism rates are also comparable at 87.9% and 19.3%, respectively. In terms of test scores, Bellevue West outperforms Bellevue East in ACT proficiency, but both schools fall below the Bellevue Public Schools district and state averages.

Additionally, Bellevue East has a higher per-student spending of $16,643 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 14:1, compared to Bellevue West's $15,080 per-student spending and 16.4:1 student-teacher ratio. However, these resource differences do not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for Bellevue East, suggesting the need for a deeper examination of the factors influencing student achievement across the district.
