Summary

Bellevue Middle School is a public middle school in Nashville, TN, serving 438 students in grades 6–8 as part of Metro Nashville Public Schools. The school has climbed from the 27th percentile in 2020–2021 to the 60th percentile in 2025–2026, ranking 237th out of 594 middle schools statewide with a 3-star rating. This upward trajectory places Bellevue in the upper-middle tier of Tennessee middle schools, far outperforming its district's overall 11th-percentile standing. Bellevue also outperforms its district in all core subjects, including wide margins in Science (45.0% vs. 35.4%) and Social Studies (59.1% vs. 42.1%).

Bellevue's most striking strength is its Integrated Math I program. In 2025–2026, 69% of Bellevue students taking this high-school-level math course scored proficient, versus 28.2% districtwide and 30.2% statewide. The school is clearly accelerating its top 8th-grade math students. Social Studies is another bright spot, with 6th graders posting 70.1% proficiency, well above the state average of 50.7%. However, the school faces challenges in 8th grade: proficiency drops sharply across every subject. While 6th-grade scores are near or above state averages in most subjects, 8th-grade math proficiency sits at just 13.9%. Compared to nearby schools, Bellevue sits in the middle of a highly stratified landscape—far behind elite Williamson County Schools like Brentwood Middle School and Grassland Middle School, but well above struggling Nashville schools like Nashville Prep School and Moses McKissack Middle School.

Bellevue's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.4% matches the state average and beats the district average of 23.3%, though it trails schools like Head Middle School (5.3%) and Grassland Middle School (5.4%). The school serves several subgroups well: English Language Learners ranked in the 86th percentile in 2024–2025, and Special Education students jumped from the 25th to 58th percentile in 2025–2026. However, economically disadvantaged students remain a concern at the 33rd percentile. Bellevue spends $16,831 per student—more than high-performing Williamson County Schools like Brentwood Middle School ($12,353) and Grassland Middle School ($12,996)—yet those schools achieve dramatically better results. For parents, Bellevue is a school on the rise with clear academic strengths, but one that still faces meaningful equity challenges.

The school is diverse. The teachers and staff are fabulous! My child has had wonderful hands on teachers every year he has attended. There are sports, clubs, guitar, rock band and other activities for all students to participate in a the school. I wish Bellevue was all the way through 12th grade! Close Quote
