The Floral Park-Bellerose Elementary School District is responsible for the education of approximately 1870 students housed in the Floral Park-Bellerose and John Lewis Childs schools. It requires the services of approximately 160 people of various skills and talents to operate both these facilities. Part of the operating cost of the school district is borne by the local property tax paid by the resident taxpayers. The community elects five individuals to serve on the school board for a three-year term.
