District-Level NCES Analysis

Bellevue Independent operates 2 public schools serving 639 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Kentucky. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 551 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Campbell County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $24,733 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 43.8% local, 37.2% state, and 19.1% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $67,850 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 72/100, ranked #32 of 171 in Kentucky against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

a 275.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 20.4% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 77.8% White, 7.8% Hispanic or Latino, 4.0% African American across the district's schools.

Bellevue High School accounts for 54.4% of all Bellevue Independent student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Bellevue Independent-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Bellevue Independent has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 60.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

Bellevue Independent student-counselor ratio is 276:1 — near the typical range (US average ~408) — within the typical range for U.S. public districts

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Bellevue Independent is typically wider than the Bellevue Independent-aggregate figure suggests.

Bellevue Independent chronic absenteeism rate is 20.4% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Bellevue Independent is typically wider than the Bellevue Independent-aggregate figure suggests.
