The school has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 37.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, Bellview's test scores are consistently lower than the Escambia district and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

Bullying is out of control. Teachers don't control the class. They pass my special needs son just because they like him. Very disrespectful children to adults (not really the school's fault there). Cannot figure out how to do an IEP correctly. My child has not got any kind of education due to having to worry about the other kids being so mean. My child complains of not feeling safe. I don't feel safe leaving my child there. Worst school EVER! Close Quote
