Summary:
ZIP code 44813 is served by a single elementary school, Bellville Elementary School, a K–5 building with 400 students in the Clear Fork Valley Local district. Because it is the only elementary school in the area, there is no within-ZIP comparison to make — but the school's own numbers tell a strong story.
Bellville Elementary is high-performing on every reported measure. In 2025–2026, its proficiency ranged from 75.9 in 4th grade ELA to 91.7 in 3rd grade math, and all seven reported tests came in above the state average, by margins of 10.9 to 29.6 points. It also keeps pace with its district, which is itself well above the state: the school average was 81.6 versus the district's 80.7 and the state's 63.8. Third grade math was the clearest standout, at 91.7% proficient — 4.7 points above the district and 29.6 points above the state. Fifth grade science remained strong at 80 despite slipping from 92.1 the year before. The relatively weakest area was 4th grade ELA at 75.9, still 14.1 points above the state. Average proficiency rose about 4.8 points year over year while the state rose only about 0.3 points.
Other context is favorable too. The school ranked 257th out of 1,560 schools — the 84th percentile with 4 stars — after a one-year dip to the 72nd percentile, and the district ranked in the 74th percentile with 4 stars. Chronic absenteeism in 2025–2026 was just 3.8, far below the district's 10.2. About 40% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch, the student-teacher ratio was 17.7, and per-student spending was $10,131, though that spending figure dates to 2018–2019.
