Academically, Belmont Hills Elementary School has consistently ranked in the middle range of Pennsylvania elementary schools, with around 40-50% of students proficient or better in Math and English Language Arts on the PSSA tests. However, the school's performance on PSSA Science tests is relatively stronger, with 65-75% of students proficient or better. Compared to the Bensalem Township School District, Belmont Hills Elementary School generally outperforms the district average on PSSA tests. The school spends between $18,000 to $25,000 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio.

While Belmont Hills Elementary School outperforms the Bensalem Township School District, it lags behind the state average and nearby high-performing districts like Council Rock School District. The school's performance has also declined over the years, dropping from the top 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools in 2014-2015 to the bottom 30-40% in recent years. This trend suggests the need for the school and district to implement strategies to improve student learning and achievement, particularly for the school's diverse population and high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds.
