It been awhile since I wrote about one of our local school systems and I’m eager to tell you about the Bellevue Schools. According to the Superintendent of Schools, Dr John Deegan, all decisions are guided by the question, “What is the right thing for our students?” Bellevue claims to rank at the top of all metro-area schools in Math, Reading and Writing while continuing to have “the lowest (tax levy) in the metropolitan area.”
Bellevue also boasts of meeting or exceeding all of the stated goals of the federal No Child Left Behind Act. Bellevue Schools have deep partnerships with Metropolitan Community Campus and Offutt AFB. With a strong curriculum that emphasizes the basics, a team of dedicated professionals “who always put children first, and a system that embraces parent involvement, the Bellevue Schools create an environment of learning and growth for its children.
The Bellevue Schools have goals to limit average class size for K-3 to 20, grades 4-6 to 22.6 and grades 7-12 to 22.8. In fact, Bellevue has great goals and a strategic plan worth reviewing. Be certain to visit their website or contact me at Marie@MarieOtis.com. I can send you an information packet if you are moving to the Bellevue area. Remember, you are welcome to comment below. I enjoy hearing from you.
