The Guttenberg School District as a whole is ranked 532 out of 613 in New Jersey and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating that the district may be facing systemic challenges that are impacting the performance of its sole school.

Klein, along with the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending, suggest that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's poor academic outcomes.
