Memorial School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from as high as 77th out of 1,360 New Jersey elementary schools in 2018-2019 (5-star rating) to as low as 579th out of 1,347 in 2024-2025 (3-star rating). The school has consistently ranked highly for its Asian and African American student populations, often placing in the top 5-25% of New Jersey elementary schools for these groups. However, the school's performance for male students, white students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs has been more mixed, with rankings ranging from the top 25% to the bottom 10% of schools.

Parker, but lags behind the higher-performing schools in the River Edge School District, such as Cherry Hill School and Roosevelt School. Memorial School's per-student spending of $11,306 in 2018-2019 is on par with the nearby schools, but its student-teacher ratio, which has ranged from 11.5 to 12.6 over the past few years, is slightly higher than the nearby schools.
