Despite its location in a densely populated area with several other high schools, Queens Academy High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools over the past decade, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is particularly low for its Asian and African American student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 15-20% of New York high schools for these groups.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 80-84% is slightly below the state and district averages, and its dropout rate of 4-5% is higher than the state and district averages.
