Oxford Central School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, ranging from 511 to 858 out of around 1,350 New Jersey elementary schools. The school's performance on NJSLA assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts generally below the state averages and proficiency rates in Mathematics ranging from below to above the state average across grade levels. The school's performance on NJSLA-S Science assessments is also below the state average. However, the school has performed exceptionally well for students of low socioeconomic status, ranking in the top 5% of New Jersey elementary schools in this category.

Compared to nearby schools in the region, Central Elementary School, Hampton Borough School, and Franklin Township School, Oxford Central School generally performs on par or slightly below average in terms of academic achievement and school rankings. The school's recent increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.9% in 2021-2022 to 16.6% in 2022-2023, is a concerning trend that the school and Oxford Township School District should address.
