PS 136 Roy Wilkins generally performs below the New York City District #29 and New York state averages on the 3rd-5th grade English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 58.7% compared to 54.34% for the district and 54.15% for the state, but the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was only 46.15% compared to 55.21% for the district and 54.07% for the state. The school's performance on the 5th grade Science assessment is particularly low, with only 22.81% proficient in 2024-2025 compared to 36.99% for the district and 45.02% for the state.

Interestingly, there are several higher-performing elementary schools located within a mile of PS 136 Roy Wilkins, such as PS/Middle School 147 Ronald McNair and PS 132 Ralph Bunche, which have significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments and higher SchoolDigger rankings. This suggests that the low performance of PS 136 Roy Wilkins is not solely due to the demographics of the surrounding area. The school also exhibits inconsistent performance across grade levels, with 3rd and 5th graders generally outperforming 4th graders, which is not observed in the higher-performing nearby schools.
