Summary

Betz Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bellevue, Nebraska, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 250 students. The school is part of the Bellevue Public Schools district, which is ranked 98 out of 115 districts in Nebraska and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Betz Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Nebraska elementary schools, with rankings ranging from 245 out of 274 schools in 2024-2025 to 442 out of 488 schools in 2014-2015. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. Its performance is below average for various student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, and low socioeconomic status students. Betz Elementary School also has had consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 22.9% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on the NSCAS (Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System) tests are consistently lower than the Bellevue Public Schools district and the state of Nebraska averages.

When comparing Betz Elementary School to other nearby schools within the Bellevue Public Schools district, such as Avery Elementary, Twin Ridge Elementary, and Wake Robin Elementary, it consistently underperforms. Betz Elementary School has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66-71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which likely contributes to the school's challenges in academic performance and attendance. Despite the school's low performance, Betz Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending of around $18,672 for the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the issue may not be solely about resource allocation, but rather the effective utilization of those resources.
