Bellevue Community Schools reports 51.9% free-lunch eligibility

The reported share clears the 50% majority mark. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.

Bellevue Community Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 61.0% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
