Walnut Street School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, ranging from 449 out of 1,357 schools in 2014-2015 to 1,145 out of 1,345 schools in 2021-2022. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 27.3% in ELA and 36.4% in Math, compared to the state averages of 44.9% and 49.8%, respectively.

Despite Walnut Street School's higher spending per student ($13,368 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby Evergreen Avenue Elementary School ($15,161) and West End Memorial Elementary School ($11,934), and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance remains below the state and district averages, particularly for specific student subgroups. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Walnut Street School.
