Bee Meadow School has consistently ranked in the middle range of New Jersey elementary schools, with a ranking between 341 and 596 out of around 1,350 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessment) tests is mixed, with 3rd grade students performing better than the district and state in ELA and Math, but 5th grade students performing worse in ELA, Math, and Science. The school's 5th grade Science proficiency (28.5%) was also lower than the district (44.8%) and state (30.1%).
