Ps 28 Wright Brothers has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic measures. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 34.09% of 3rd graders, 43.33% of 4th graders, and 43.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, lagging behind the district and state averages. A similar pattern is seen in Math, where the school's proficiency rates are lower than the district and state. The school's performance in Science for 5th grade is also significantly lower than the district and state. Additionally, the school has consistently lower rankings for various student subgroups, including female students, male students, Hispanic students, and students with disabilities.

While the nearby schools, such as Ps 8 Luis Belliard, Ps/Is 210 21st Century Academy, and Ps 4 Duke Ellington, also struggle with academic performance, some schools in the area, like Neighborhood Charter School Of Harlem and Thurgood Marshall Academy Lower School, perform significantly better, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the academic outcomes.
