Summary

Bellamy Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Rome, New York, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 562 students. The school is part of the Rome City School District, which is ranked 816 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Bellamy Elementary School has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with a statewide ranking between 2069 and 2437 out of around 2,400 schools over the past several years.

Bellamy Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York State Assessments, is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 6.94% to 23.17%, compared to the state average of 50.86% to 56.61%. In math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 4.17% to 37.8%, compared to the state average of 51.2% to 59.7%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students, as well as students with disabilities.

When comparing Bellamy Elementary School to other nearby schools within the Rome City School District, it becomes evident that the academic performance at Bellamy is significantly lower than its counterparts. For instance, Stokes Elementary School and John E Joy Elementary School have higher proficiency rates in both ELA and math across all grade levels. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Bellamy Elementary School, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch rates, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges.
