What this school's NCES data tells you
Bellevue School reports 234 enrolled students to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) alongside 16.0 full-time-equivalent teachers, producing a 10.4:1 student-teacher ratio. That figure sits 29% below the Texas state mean of 14.6:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 34% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.
Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 43.1% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 30% below the Texas average and 17% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 585 students per counselor, above the ASCA-recommended ceiling of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 7.7% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Bellevue Isd spends $16,000 per pupil district-wide, above the Texas average of $13,644 and below the national average of $16,593. Revenue comes 67.6% from local sources (property taxes), 23.6% from the state, and 8.8% from federal programs per the NCES F-33 finance survey. Taken together, these measurements produce a Resource Investment Index of 52/100 (C-), calculated from 4 distinct NCES and CRDC indicators measuring resource allocation rather than academic outcomes.
