Oyster Bay Middle School's academic performance is a key strength, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math significantly higher than the state averages. In 2024-2025, 7th grade ELA proficiency was 71.43% (vs. 50.99% state) and 7th grade Math proficiency was 82.35% (vs. 56.47% state). The school also excels on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Earth Science and 82.47% in Algebra I. While the school performs exceptionally well for female and white students, there are performance gaps for Hispanic students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby schools, Oyster Bay Middle School outperforms Vernon School (part of the same district) but lags behind some higher-performing schools like North Shore Middle School and Jericho Middle School. However, the school's focus on small class sizes and higher per-student spending appear to be contributing to its strong academic outcomes, particularly in core subject areas.
