Summary

Bellevue Big Picture School is a small public school in Bellevue serving 346 students in grades 6–12, within the highly regarded Bellevue School District. The school ranks in the 80th percentile statewide for 2025–26, although its recent ranking has declined from 44th statewide in 2023–24. Its small size and 14-to-1 student-teacher ratio provide a more individualized setting than most nearby comprehensive high schools.

Academically, the school performs above Washington’s averages but below the unusually strong results of its district. In 2025–26, proficiency was 58.57% in English language arts, 45.93% in math, and 57.30% in science. Math is the clearest area for improvement: the result was 23.68 percentage points below the district average and remained below 50% for the second consecutive year. ELA results have also declined from 65.76% in 2022–23 to 58.57%, while science has been more stable. Compared with nearby schools such as International School, Newport Senior High School, Bellevue High School, and Interlake Senior High School, Bellevue Big Picture’s current test results are lower, though comparisons are affected by differences in grade levels, size, and program structure.

Graduation is a relative strength: the 2024–25 rate was 89.0%, above both the district’s 87.6% and Washington’s 82.6%, though down from 93.0% the prior year. The school also reported relatively high spending of $22,345 per student, suggesting substantial staffing and resource capacity. Historically, its special education subgroup has ranked in the 95th–96th statewide percentiles, although those results are from older years. Overall, the school offers a small-scale, supportive environment with solid graduation outcomes, but families should pay particular attention to the recent decline in assessment performance and the sizable gap with Bellevue’s highest-performing schools, including Skyline High School and Eastlake High School.
