In 2024-2025, 3rd-grade students performed better in math (58.97% proficient) compared to English Language Arts (48.65%), while 5th-grade students struggled in both subjects (34.78% in ELA and 38.46% in math). Compared to the district and the state, Daniel Street School's performance on state assessments is generally lower, with some exceptions, such as 4th-grade math in 2021-2022 (75% proficient vs. 51.3% for the district and 42.89% for the state).

Additionally, the school's student population is more diverse, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students compared to White students. Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the academic performance of Daniel Street School still lags behind the district and state averages, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution.
