Test results show a school close to the state average overall but with unusually sharp splits by grade and subject. Grade 3 ELA is a clear strength at 80.3%, 16.9 points above the state, and Grade 6 math is 69.0%, 12.8 points above the state and ahead of nearby schools with Grade 6 results. Grade 3 math, at 47.7%, is 14.4 points below the state and the lowest among nearby schools reporting it, and Grade 5 math has trailed the state by roughly 10–14 points for four straight years. Grade 5 science sits near the state average. Compared with neighbors, Belpre outperforms Marietta Elementary in overall rank and most tested areas and is roughly comparable to Waterford and Coolville, but trails Fort Frye's Beverly-Center and Lowell and Warren Elementary.
Chronic absenteeism has improved substantially, from 32.5% in 2021–22 to 21.1% in 2025–26, and it is consistently below the district rate, but it remains higher than Waterford (11.9%), Lowell (7.0%), Beverly-Center (3.7%), and Warren (12.4%). Subgroup results are uneven: low-income students rank 67th percentile with 3 stars and special education students 59th percentile, both above the school overall, while female students (37th), White students (32nd), and gifted-identified students (11th percentile in 2024–25, sparse data) rank lower. Belpre's student-teacher ratio of 16.6 is higher than several higher-performing nearby schools, and its most recent per-student spending figure was $9,001 in 2018–19.
