While the school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I, Geometry, and Earth and Space Sciences, there is a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 16.1% in 2023-2024 to 31.5% in the current 2023-2024 school year. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased significantly, from $13,284 in 2020-2021 to $23,309 in the current 2023-2024 school year, which may indicate a focus on resource allocation and student support.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES and Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School, Theodore R Durgee Junior High School stands out with its relatively higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.3 is higher than the 5.3 ratio at Onondaga-Cortland-Madison BOCES. While the school's overall academic performance is strong, there is a concerning trend of declining math proficiency on state assessments, with only 23.66% of students scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 46.74%.
