Cedar Crest Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 30-35% of Pennsylvania middle schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 230 out of 873 middle schools. The school's performance on PSSA tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts.

Additionally, the school has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 0.2% to 1.6% over the past few years, which are lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Cedar Crest Middle School performs better than Lebanon Middle School, which ranks in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania middle schools and has significantly lower academic performance on PSSA tests.

Additionally, the school has seen a decline in the percentage of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, from 38% in 2023-2024 to 34.2% in 2022-2023, which may require the school to focus on improving math instruction and support for students.
