The school is part of the Attleboro School District, which is ranked 207 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cyril K. Brennan Middle School's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation assessments, is generally below the state average and the performance of nearby schools. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.22%), Mathematics (34.32%), and Science (29.82%) are all lower than the state averages (41.53%, 40.74%, and 41.51%, respectively). The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students tending to perform better than White and Multi-racial students, while English Language Learner (ELL) students and students with disabilities have lower performance compared to their peers.

Cyril K. Brennan Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 126 out of 482 Massachusetts middle schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 245 out of 484 in 2024-2025. The school's overall rating from SchoolDigger has also decreased from 4 stars in 2015-2016 to 2 stars in recent years. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14 to 15.1 students per teacher in recent years, this does not appear to be a significant factor in its academic performance. Nearby schools, such as Robert J. Coelho Middle School and Wamsutta Middle School, demonstrate stronger academic outcomes, suggesting that factors such as curriculum, instructional methods, and support for struggling students may play a more crucial role in shaping Cyril K. Brennan Middle School's academic performance.
