The school is part of the North Babylon Union Free School District, which is ranked 785 out of 874 school districts in the state and has a rating of 1 out of 5 stars.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, William E Deluca Junior Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math. The school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels in the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school's performance varies greatly across different student subgroups, with the William E Deluca Junior Elementary School ranking in the bottom 5% of elementary schools in New York.

The challenges faced by William E Deluca Junior Elementary School appear to be systemic within the North Babylon Union Free School District, as nearby schools like Marion G Vedder Elementary School and Woods Road Elementary School also perform below state and district averages. The high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at the school suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the academic challenges, but the school's performance has been inconsistent, making it difficult to identify clear trends or patterns that could guide improvement efforts.
