The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New Jersey elementary schools and received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing significantly below the state average.

George L Catrambone struggles across all student subgroups, with the lowest rankings for White students and the highest rankings for African American and English Language Learner students. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly below the state and district averages, often by 20-30 percentage points.
