Donald P Sutherland School has consistently ranked in the top 30% of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 690 out of 2,445 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the district and state averages, particularly in math and science. For example, in 2024-2025, 90.32% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in math, compared to 75.25% for the district and 54.16% for the state. The school's performance for female students and white students is also strong, ranking in the top 26% and 12% of New York elementary schools, respectively, for the past three years.

Compared to nearby schools, Red Mill School, Citizen Edmond Genet School, and Green Meadow School generally perform at a similar or slightly higher level on state assessments. However, Donald P Sutherland School outperforms the nearby schools in the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District and the Averill Park Central School District. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and increased per-student spending suggest that the district is actively working to support the success of all students.
