PS 84 Steinway consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, with 77.36% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to 58.59% for the district and 54.15% for the state. The school also has particularly strong performance among male students and special education students, ranking in the top 20-25% of New York elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as PS 2 Alfred Zimberg and PS 70, PS 84 Steinway generally outperforms them in academic proficiency, especially in ELA. The school's high spending per student, ranging from $18,095 to $29,424 over the past few years, may contribute to its strong performance. However, the school has also seen some fluctuations in its proficiency rates, particularly in the 2021-2022 school year, which could provide valuable insights for understanding effective educational practices.
