PS 31 Bayside has consistently ranked in the top 25-30% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 726 out of 2,445 schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the New York state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from 50-90% across different grade levels and years. However, compared to the New York City Geographic District #26 average, PS 31 Bayside's proficiency rates are lower, indicating room for improvement in closing the achievement gap within the district.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the same district, such as PS 203 Oakland Gardens and PS 98 Douglaston School, PS 31 Bayside generally performs on par or slightly below the top-performing schools. This suggests that while PS 31 Bayside is a strong-performing school, there may be opportunities to learn from the instructional practices and strategies employed by the highest-performing schools in the area. Continued investment in effective instructional practices and targeted support for underperforming student populations could further enhance the school's overall performance and ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
