Ridge Road School consistently outperforms the Horseheads Central School District and the state of New York in proficiency rates for both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across grades 3 and 4. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Ridge Road School's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 62.12%, compared to 57.88% for the district and 54.15% for the state. Similarly, its 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate was 80.3%, compared to 68.13% for the district and 59.7% for the state. The school's performance for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, and special education students, is generally higher than the state averages for those groups as well.

Within the Horseheads Central School District, Big Flats School and Gardner Road Elementary School generally do not perform as well as Ridge Road School in terms of academic proficiency rates and SchoolDigger rankings. However, when compared to schools outside the district, such as those in the Elmira City School District, Ridge Road School's performance is more mixed, with the gap not as significant as the comparison within the Horseheads district.
