Buckingham Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Pennsylvania, with a statewide ranking between 20-202 over the past 10 years. The school's PSSA test scores are significantly higher than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with 74% of students proficient or better in Math and 80.9% in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. Buckingham Elementary's performance is also consistently higher than the Central Bucks School District averages, indicating that it is a standout within the district. The school's student-teacher ratio is also lower than the nearby schools, ranging from 13.9 to 15.2 students per teacher, which may contribute to the strong academic performance.

Buckingham Elementary spends significantly more per student than the state average, with spending ranging from $16,944 to $19,582 per student over the past few years. This higher spending per student suggests that the school has access to more resources, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, the relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Buckingham Elementary, ranging from 3.08% to 12% over the past few years, may indicate that the school serves a more affluent student population, which can also contribute to higher academic achievement.
