Summary

Belleview Middle School is a large public school in Belleview, FL, serving approximately 1,600 students in grades 6-8 within the Marion County district, and it stands out as a strong performer despite serving a student body where about half are economically disadvantaged.

Belleview consistently outperforms nearby schools like North Marion Middle School, Howard Middle School, and Fort King Middle School in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates often exceeding district averages. The school also shines in advanced coursework, with 84% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 96% in Geometry—far above the district averages of 50% and 45%, respectively. Its state ranking has climbed from the 38th percentile in 2016 to the 57th percentile in 2026, earning a 3-star rating, while many peers have stagnated. Notably, Belleview achieves these results with lower per-student spending ($8,718) than all other nearby schools, which spend between $9,514 and $11,313, suggesting efficient resource use.

However, the school faces challenges. There is a consistent drop in 8th-grade math proficiency, with only 40% of students proficient compared to 66% in 6th grade, a pattern that has persisted for years. Chronic absenteeism is also high at 36%, above the state average of 31.4%, though academic performance remains strong among attending students. Compared to the top-performing Osceola Middle School, which has lower economic disadvantage and absenteeism rates, Belleview shows room for growth in 8th-grade math and science. Overall, Belleview is a large, efficient school that delivers solid results, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a strong middle school experience in the area.
