North Main Street Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 1060-1291 out of around 1,350 schools. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, with a 0-star rating in the 2020-2021 school year. Student performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 38.5% of 3rd graders, 41.8% of 4th graders, and 26.2% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and even lower proficiency rates in mathematics. The school also struggles with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.9% to 30.5% over the past few years.

Interestingly, the other elementary schools in the Pleasantville Public School District also perform poorly, with similar low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism. However, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Chelsea Heights School in the Atlantic City School District and Northfield Community Elementary School in the Northfield City School District, demonstrate significantly higher student performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by North Main Street Elementary School may be more systemic to the Pleasantville Public School District.
