Academically, Biddeford Intermediate School has shown mixed performance compared to state and district averages. In recent years, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been below the state averages but above the district averages.

Additionally, the school serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.43% to 58.18%, indicating a population with lower socioeconomic status.
