District-Level NCES Analysis

BELLEVUE PUBLIC SCHOOLS operates 20 public schools serving 9,498 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Nebraska. The school portfolio breaks down into 15 other, 3 middle, 2 high schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 9,502 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Sarpy County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $14,102 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 39.0% local, 46.9% state, and 14.1% 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 $98,513 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 37/100, ranked #143 of 200 in Nebraska against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 20 schools offering Advanced Placement (32 AP courses district-wide), a 343.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 25.1% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 57.7% White, 22.1% Hispanic or Latino, 6.8% African American across the district's schools.

Bellevue West Sr High School accounts for 16.1% of all BELLEVUE PUBLIC SCHOOLS student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means BELLEVUE PUBLIC SCHOOLS-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
