The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math generally below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 28.95%-47.5%, compared to the state averages of 54.07%-56.61% and the district averages of 30.35%-43.25%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs.
