Summary

Bellevue Middle School serves about 394 students in grades 6 through 8 in Bellevue, Ohio, a small city in the northern part of the state, and belongs to the Bellevue City district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 140th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools — the 87th percentile, with 4 stars — its highest percentile in the years shown and part of an unbroken 4-star run. Its district ranks 164th of 773 districts statewide, so the middle school stands out as a relative strength within Bellevue City.

Academically, Bellevue Middle School outperformed Ohio's proficiency rate in every subject and grade level reported. Eighth grade science reached 81% (state 61.2%), eighth grade math 80% (state 52%), and eighth grade ELA 83.9% (state 58.3%). Among nearby schools, only Seneca East Middle School consistently posts higher scores. Bellevue Middle School leads McCormick Middle School, Port Clinton Middle School, and McPherson Middle School in most areas, and clearly outranks the larger middle schools in Fremont Middle School, Sandusky Middle School, Norwalk Middle School, and Willard Middle School. Algebra I End of Course proficiency is 100%, though several nearby schools also report 100%, so it is less of a local differentiator.

Subgroup results are a major strength: low-income students rank 44th of 996 schools (96th percentile, 5 stars), up from the 78th percentile in 2023–2024, and other student groups also rank above the school's overall percentile. Chronic absenteeism fell from 23.0% in 2021–2022 to 8.9% in 2025–2026, far below Sandusky Middle School (34.7%), Willard Middle School (28.4%), Norwalk Middle School (26.8%), and Fremont Middle School (24.7%), though slightly above the district's 8.6%. Watch items are limited: seventh grade ELA slipped from 87.1% to 77.3%, still above the state and most nearby schools, and seventh grade math (63.3%) trails Seneca East Middle School and McPherson Middle School. Nearly half of students (45.7%) were eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the 17.1 student-teacher ratio is higher than most nearby schools — making these results stand out.
