The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past decade, with 0 out of 5 stars from Jersey City Public Schools. Across student subgroups, the school's performance is poor compared to state and district averages, with low proficiency rates on state assessments and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Brensinger School, generally perform better than Chaplain Charles Watters School on key metrics. Additionally, the nearby Dr. Lena Edwards Academic Charter School and Learning Community Charter School outperform Chaplain Charles Watters School, suggesting the charter school model may be more effective in this area.

The high poverty rates, chronic absenteeism, and consistently low performance across student subgroups at Chaplain Charles Watters School indicate the school may be facing significant challenges related to socioeconomic factors, student engagement, and resource allocation that are impacting its ability to improve student outcomes. Addressing these underlying issues may be crucial for providing a better educational experience for the school's students.
