North Bellmore has a long history of providing students with a quality education, dating back to the 1800s. One-room, two-room and eight-room wood-frame schoolhouses were home to students for decades.

The district’s first modern school, the red-brick Newbridge Road Elementary School, was built in 1924, and expanded over the years to support growing enrollment. The initial building consisted of eight classrooms and an all-purpose room. The building has continuously operated for a century, and for years was the district’s lone school until Martin Avenue and Waltoffer Avenue (John G. Dinkelmeyer) opened in the late 1940s.
