Summary

Belle View Elementary is a public elementary school in Alexandria, Virginia, serving 401 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district.

Belle View Elementary consistently outperforms the Fairfax County and Virginia state averages in mathematics and reading proficiency across all grade levels. The school's performance is particularly strong in mathematics, with 4th and 6th grade students scoring significantly higher than the district and state averages. In reading, Belle View's 6th grade students stand out, with 78.72% proficient or better, compared to 80.07% in Fairfax County and 72.46% statewide. However, the school's low socioeconomic status (SES) students and students with disabilities have lower rankings, indicating an achievement gap that needs to be addressed.
