For example, in 2024-2025, only 22.44% of 6th graders, 19.67% of 7th graders, and 24.16% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 50.86%, 50.99%, and 52.38% respectively. The math proficiency rates tell a similar story, with only 19.29% of 6th graders, 36.61% of 7th graders, and 25.74% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards, compared to the state averages of 51.2%, 56.47%, and 46.74%.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($37,762 in 2023-2024) compared to the state average, Bellport Middle School's academic performance has been on a downward trajectory over the past several years, with proficiency rates declining across nearly all subject areas and grade levels. Neighboring middle schools, such as Sagamore Middle School, Sayville Middle School, and James Wilson Young Middle School, significantly outperform Bellport Middle School on state assessments and have higher overall rankings, suggesting that the challenges faced by Bellport Middle School may be unique to the school or district.
