It is part of the New York City Geographic District #27, which is ranked 571 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

S.T.A.R. Leadership Academy consistently outperforms the district and the state of New York in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments.

Similarly, the school's 3rd grade Math proficiency rate was 73.68% compared to 63.16% for the district and 59.7% for the state.
