Dutch Lane School has shown fluctuating academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 258 to 1,399 out of around 2,400 New York elementary schools in recent years. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, its 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 70% is significantly higher than the district (46.32%) and state (45.02%) averages. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students maintaining a 3-star rating but female students dropping to a 1-star rating in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Dutch Lane School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below other Hicksville Union Free School District elementary schools, but lags behind higher-performing schools in the neighboring Levittown Union Free School District and East Meadow Union Free School District. The school's relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests that it serves a significant population of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the performance gaps observed in certain student subgroups.
