Brooklyn Lab School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with rankings ranging from 1066 to 1172 out of around 1200-1250 high schools. The school has received a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing high schools in the state.

The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 80.3% to 98.5% over the past few years, which is below the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 1.4% to 4.9%, which is higher than the state average.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as School For Classics High School, Transit Technical Career And Technical Education High School, and Multicultural High School, all have similar low rankings, graduation rates, and academic performance to Brooklyn Lab School. However, some of the nearby schools in other districts, such as Richmond Hill High School, Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School, and Queens Metropolitan High School, perform significantly better on various metrics, suggesting there may be district-level factors contributing to the poor performance of the schools in District #19.
