Amsterdam School has consistently ranked highly among Montana elementary schools, placing in the top 10 for several years and currently ranking 20th out of 401 schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Amsterdam School consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 67.71% proficiency in ELA, 72.92% in Math, and 65% in Science, compared to the state averages of 43.09%, 36.77%, and 38.16%, respectively. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.7 to 15.5 over the past few years, compared to the nearby schools which have ratios between 9.6 and 19.2. Additionally, Amsterdam School has a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 7.38% to 8.43% in recent years, significantly lower than the nearby Bozeman Elementary and Belgrade Elementary schools, which have rates ranging from 17.68% to 48.32%.

While the nearby schools in the Bozeman and Belgrade districts also perform well, Amsterdam School stands out with its higher proficiency rates, lower student-teacher ratio, and lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that Amsterdam School may have additional resources or strategies that contribute to its strong academic outcomes. However, there may be opportunities for further improvement, particularly in science proficiency, which lags slightly behind the school's performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
