The school has received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between 666-1074 out of around 2,400 New York elementary schools.

Overall, Clara H Carlson School generally performs better than the New York state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments across grades 3-6, but lags behind the Elmont Union Free School District average in both subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 60.23% compared to the district's 64.29% and the state's 54.15%.

The school has also seen a steady increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 52.6% in 2021-2022 to 62.92% in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, the nearby Floral Park-Bellerose School and John Lewis Childs School, which are part of the Floral Park-Bellerose Union Free School District, significantly outperform Clara H Carlson School in both ELA and Math assessments. This may be due to factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, which play a significant role in the school's academic outcomes.
