Middle School Social Emotional Learning (SEL), $75,000 – Brings SEL to all seven middle schools. Data shows increasing numbers of students in crisis in our schools.

Year 1 pilot includes Bellevue and Sammamish High Schools with Newport High School joining in the fall of 2016.

Project-based Learning (PBL) Approach to High School AP Physics, $20,000 – Year 2 of this innovative project brings rigorous PBL curriculum to engage students in the new Advanced Placement (AP) Physics I course. This is a collaborative endeavor with The George Lucas Educational Foundation and University of Washington researchers.

Positive Intervention at Highland, $38,000 – Engages students in their learning and provides positive behavior intervention to help Highland students find success in school. Previous outcomes show elimination of the achievement gap for at-risk students.

that children who attend high-quality early learning programs can gain up to a year of additional learning.

Early Literacy Intervention, $301,500 – Helps kindergarten and first grade students at six high-poverty schools meet literacy benchmarks and paves the way for children to become strong readers by third grade.

Help keep Bellevue’s public schools strong and our community a great place to work and live. Multiple publications have listed Bellevue as one of the best places to work, start a business, and live. In 2014, USA Today reported that Bellevue is the second best place to live in in the United States and highlighted our well-educated population, excellent schools and economic vibrancy.

Bellevue student results from the 2014 Programme for International Student Assessment, also known as PISA, an international benchmarking assessment of student achievement in reading literacy, math, and science, place the Bellevue School District as a top performer, second only to Shanghai, China and ahead of Singapore, South Korea, Finland, Hong Kong, and other nations.
