Summary

Belvedere Elementary, located in Belvedere, SC, is a mid-sized school within the Aiken 01 district serving 617 students in grades PK through 5, and it has built a strong reputation for academic achievement in the area.

What truly sets Belvedere apart is its exceptional performance in English Language Arts (ELA). In the most recent school year, proficiency rates reached 76% in 3rd grade, 73% in 4th grade, and an impressive 84% in 5th grade—outpacing district and state averages by 10 to 20 percentage points. The school also shines when it comes to supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 77th percentile statewide for this group. This means the school is highly effective at helping all students succeed, regardless of their circumstances. When compared to nearby schools, Belvedere ranks higher than most of its neighbors, including Warrenville Elementary, Graniteville Elementary, Byrd Elementary, Gloverville Elementary, Jefferson Elementary, and Clearwater Elementary, with only Hammond Hill Elementary ranking higher in the immediate area.

While the school's overall performance remains strong, there are a few areas worth noting. Math proficiency, while generally at or above district averages, is less dominant than ELA—for example, 4th-grade math dipped slightly below the state average. Additionally, the school has seen a slight pullback from its peak ranking a couple of years ago, particularly for certain student subgroups. Chronic absenteeism, though improved, still affects about 1 in 5 students. On a positive note, Belvedere achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student than several lower-performing nearby schools, and maintains a favorable 14:1 student-teacher ratio. For parents seeking a school with a strong focus on reading and writing skills, Belvedere is a standout choice.
