Summary

Belleview High School is a large public high school in Belleview, FL, serving 1,904 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Marion district, which faces significant district-wide challenges. The school has a mixed performance history, earning between 2 and 3 stars over the past decade, with a current state ranking at the 45th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. About 45.75% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, indicating a moderate-to-high level of economic disadvantage, though this has improved from 56.53% two years prior.

Academically, Belleview shows both strengths and weaknesses. It outperforms the district average in Geometry (49% vs. 45%), Biology 1 (66% vs. 65%), US History (71% vs. 70%), and 9th and 10th Grade ELA (56% and 57% vs. 51% and 54%). However, it has a critical weakness in Algebra 1, with a proficiency rate of just 30%—dramatically lower than the district average of 50% and the state average of 63%. This is the lowest Algebra 1 score among major Marion County high schools, though it is better than West Port High School (28%) and Lake Weir High School (19%). The graduation rate is a bright spot, rising from 78.4% two years ago to 86.9% for the 2024-2025 school year, above the district average of 84.7%.

Chronic absenteeism at Belleview is 30.9%, which is better than the district average of 35.2% but worse than its closest rival, Forest High School, located just 4.66 miles away, which has a much lower rate of 23.2%. Forest outperforms Belleview in nearly every academic metric, has a higher graduation rate (96.1% vs. 86.9%), and serves a less economically disadvantaged student body (37.29% vs. 45.75%). Belleview’s per-student spending ($9,030) is in the middle of its peer group, and its student-teacher ratio of 23.5 is average. The school’s trajectory is mixed—while the graduation rate has recovered strongly, the state ranking has dropped from the 57th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 45th percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting that overall academic proficiency may not be keeping pace with improvements at other schools.

Principal's decisions are based on emotion with personal career gains under the guise of doing what's best.
It seems the new principal is inexperienced but fearful of it being seen.
Uses corporate tactics to deligate and manipulate staff to attain what can be described as a "click" loyalty.
This redirected focus takes away from what should be a memorable experience for transitioning youth into adulthood.
Gestapo based tactics. Close Quote

Belleview produced more Bright Futures scholarships among their 2015 graduating class than any other school in Marion County. Their Cambridge program has saved us a lot of money by helping our two children qualify for the Bright Futures by earning their AICE diplomas.. Close Quote

The teachers and school bored exspect us to pass the FCAT however they dont run threw everything we need to know; because someone changed what were supose to learn. Causing us to not fully comprehend some of the infermation we are learning based on the short amount of time we are getting to learn it. Learning it in one class period and then moving on to the next lesson the next class period, does not allow us to remember what we have just learned and thats if you even learned it. This mostly applies to Geometry.The formulas and equasions that Geometry needs you to memarize is not easliy done. However the fact of the matter is they dont even give you the oppertunity to actually learn the infermation given. Close Quote
