Robert J Kaiser Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of New York middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 1160-1465 out of around 1500 middle schools over the past 10 years. Its performance on state assessments is significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 10-25% in English Language Arts and Math, compared to state averages around 50%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, and it has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 64-67% over the past few years. Despite the poor academic performance, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $15,156 to $36,354 per student over the past few years.

Nearby middle schools, such as Monhagen Middle School, Circleville Middle School, and Port Jervis Middle School, significantly outperform Robert J Kaiser Middle School on academic measures, despite serving similar student demographics. This indicates that the issues at Robert J Kaiser Middle School are not solely due to the challenges of its student population. The consistently low performance of the school and the lack of improvement over time suggest the need for significant interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for its students.
