The school is part of the Stratford School District, which is ranked 137 out of 156 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Harry B. Flood Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Connecticut middle schools, typically between 158-177 out of 250-280 schools. The school's performance on standardized tests is below the state average across all grades and subjects, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics significantly lower than the state averages. The school's performance on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for 8th grade is also below the state average. Additionally, the school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, with particularly concerning performance for white students and students with low socioeconomic status.
