Academically, Chenango Valley Middle School has shown mixed performance compared to state and district averages. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were generally higher than the state, they were lower than the district.

Despite these investments, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 415 out of 1,455 middle schools in 2016-2017 to 802 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, suggesting the need for the school to closely examine its instructional practices and support for underperforming student subgroups.
