Dorothy Nolan Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in academic assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts (81.55%) and Math (89.32%) compared to the district (64.98% and 76.67%) and state (54.15% and 55.17%) averages. The school also performs exceptionally well across various student subgroups, ranking in the top 300 out of over 2,400 New York elementary schools for both female and male students, and in the top 20% and top 30% for Hispanic and multi-racial students, respectively.

While Dorothy Nolan's performance for special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds is not as strong as its overall performance, the school still ranks in the top 30% and top 20% of New York elementary schools for these subgroups, respectively. The school's relatively high spending per student ($21,370) and low student-teacher ratio (12.3) may contribute to its success.
