Summary

Belleville PS10 is an elementary school in Belleville, New Jersey, serving 168 students in grades PK-6. The school consistently outperforms the Belleville Public School District and the state of New Jersey in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 60.8% of 3rd graders at Belleville PS10 were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 34.1% for the district and 44.9% for the state.

Belleville PS10 also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14.9% to 19.3% over the past few years, compared to the district average. Approximately 50% of Belleville PS10 students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the state average but lower than some nearby schools in the Newark Public School District. This is particularly impressive given the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds, who often face additional challenges in academic achievement.

Compared to other schools in the Belleville Public School District, Belleville PS10 significantly outperforms its peers, with much higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Bloomfield Township School District, Belleville PS10's performance is more mixed, with some schools in Bloomfield outperforming Belleville PS10 in certain areas. While Belleville PS10 is a strong-performing school, there are still areas where it could potentially improve, such as increasing the proficiency rates in mathematics and science, particularly in the upper elementary grades.
