Additionally, the school's ranking of 1650 out of 2439 schools in 2022-2023 and 1768 out of 2445 schools in 2023-2024 suggests it is struggling compared to other elementary schools in the region.

The school district, Yorkshire-Pioneer Central School District, is also ranked 517 out of 874 districts in New York and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating systemic issues that may be impacting the performance of Arcade Elementary School and other schools in the area.
