While the school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from around 40-65% across grades 3-5, it appears to be performing better than some nearby schools, such as Ps 2 and Carroll Hill School, which have significantly lower proficiency rates.

Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at around 28% in recent years, compared to some nearby schools that have over 60% of students in this category.

Interestingly, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 904 out of 2201 New York elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1374 out of 2445 in 2024-2025, suggesting that the school's performance may be inconsistent or influenced by various factors.
