The school is part of the Charleston 01 School District, which is ranked 23rd out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Belle Hall Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in South Carolina, with exceptional academic achievement and proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that significantly exceed district and state averages. The school also excels in serving various student subgroups, including female, male, and white students, as well as those from low socioeconomic backgrounds and those identified as gifted and talented.

Interestingly, several nearby schools within the Charleston 01 district, such as Mt.
