Summary
Bellview Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 248 students on Tolman Creek Road in Ashland, Oregon, part of Ashland School District 5, and it is currently the highest-ranked school in its local comparison group — in the top 4% of Oregon elementary schools.
On 2025–26 state tests, 76.6% of Bellview students met the standard in English language arts, 70.2% in math, and 69.8% in science, all well above Oregon's 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6% and above the district's 67.5%, 53.5%, and 48.3%. Bellview's reading and math results lead every same-district school, including Helman Elementary School (70.5% reading, 61.5% math) and Walker Elementary School (65.0%, 51.0%). Every grade level beats both district and state, with 4th grade reading at 86.5% the standout. Chronic absenteeism is 20.1%, well below the district's 29.5% and the state's 33.5% — though Helman, a similarly sized school with a nearly identical low-income share, reaches 12.0%, making attendance the clearest area where Bellview could improve.
The school's trajectory is upward: after years in the 80th–91st percentile, Bellview ranked 23rd and then 26th statewide in the past two years (96th–97th percentile, 5 stars), the two best results in its recorded history. For low-income students, it ranks 4th of 521 Oregon schools (99th percentile), an unusually strong equity result that held even as its measured low-income share rose to about 64%. Per-pupil spending fell about 9.5% over two years while results climbed. Two things to track: 3rd grade reading (63.0%), which trails Bellview's own 4th and 5th grade results by more than 20 points, and the contrast with nearby TRAILS Outdoor School, whose 5th grade science sits at 13.3%.
