Summary

Bellefontaine Intermediate School is a grades 3–5 elementary building at 509 N Park St in Bellefontaine, Ohio (Logan County), serving 505 students as one of two elementary schools in the Bellefontaine City district, paired with Bellefontaine Elementary School (PK–2) about 1.6 miles away.

The school is rated 2 stars and ranks 895th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 43rd percentile. Its results match the district's almost exactly, because this building holds essentially the entire tested grade 3–5 population. Its rank has drifted down from a 3-star, 55th-percentile position in 2015–16 and a 58th-percentile peak in 2020–21, settling in the low 40s since. Among ten nearby elementary schools, it ties Raymond Elementary School at 43rd percentile and sits above only Ridgemont Elementary School (33rd); others range from Triad Elementary School (57th) to Jackson Center Elementary School (99th).

Results are genuinely mixed rather than uniformly weak. Fifth-grade math (67.6% proficient) beats the state (59.1%) and has for four straight years, while fourth-grade ELA (50.0% vs. the state's 61.8%) is the lowest result and has fallen three years running. Fifth-grade science trails the state slightly every year, and third-grade math and fifth-grade ELA sit modestly below. Chronic absenteeism is 18.4% — worse than every nearby school outside the district, though better than the district's 25.4%. Class size has grown from a 17.1 student-teacher ratio to 20.2 in two years. Notably, nearby schools with higher low-income enrollments substantially outperform this one, and its special education students have gained 20 percentile points in two years while the overall rank stayed flat.
