Academically, Private Nicholas Minue Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years. On the 2024-2025 NJSLA assessments, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were below the state averages. For example, in 4th grade, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 50% compared to the state's 53.6%, and in Math, the school's proficiency rate was 26.4% compared to the state's 46.7%. The school's performance on the NJSLA-S science assessment for 5th grade in 2021-2022 was also below the state average.

While the school's overall performance is a concern, there are some interesting findings. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American students performing exceptionally well and Asian students performing poorly. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 10.9% to 20.1% over the past few years, which is generally higher than the state and district averages. When compared to other nearby elementary schools, such as Avenel Street Elementary and Nathan Hale Elementary, Private Nicholas Minue Elementary School generally performs below average, suggesting that the challenges faced by the school may be systemic within the broader district or region.
