North Fork Elementary shows notable academic strengths in specific areas, particularly in science, where student proficiency exceeds both district and state averages, and in English Language Arts for its 7th and 8th graders, who perform significantly above their peers. The school has shown recent improvement, moving up in its statewide ranking. However, overall performance in English and math is below the state average, and the school faces a significant challenge with chronic student absenteeism, which is higher than both the district and state rates.

Its performance is below the average for its own district, indicating room for growth compared to nearby schools.
