The school consistently ranks among the top 20% of middle schools in Florida, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 years and significantly outperforming the Pasco District and the state of Florida in standardized test scores and End-of-Course (EOC) exams.

While Raymond B. Stewart Middle School, Pine View Middle School, and Cypress Creek Middle School lag behind Dr. John Long Middle School in academic performance, the nearby Terrace Community Middle School, a public charter school, also demonstrates exceptional academic results, with 92-100% proficiency in EOC exams and 88-95% proficiency in FAST English Language Arts and Math. Another high-performing school in the area, Benito Middle School, is also in the top 25% of middle schools in Florida, with strong academic performance comparable to Dr. John Long Middle School.

However, Dr. John Long Middle School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.0% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the Pasco District and state averages. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $7,972 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the district and state averages, suggests that the school may have access to more resources and funding, contributing to its academic success.
