The school consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates well below the state's in both English Language Arts and math.

The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 434 out of 1,360 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 954 out of 1,347 in 2024-2025. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools for African American and Hispanic students in English Language Arts, as well as for special education students.

For example, Lincoln Community School #5 and John M. Bailey Community School both rank in the top 50% of New Jersey elementary schools.
