Greylock's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 484 out of 914 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 683 out of 916 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 2 stars to 1 star over the same period.

Greylock's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Colegrove Park Elementary and Brayton schools, which are also part of the North Adams district. Greylock's relatively high percentage of low socioeconomic status students may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance, though its special education students have performed better than the state average. The school's per-student spending has increased over the years, but this increased spending does not seem to have translated into significant improvements in academic outcomes, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning.
