Zephyr Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 758 out of 1,511 schools. The school's performance on PSSA tests is generally above the district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grades. Notably, the school performs exceptionally well in certain student subgroups, particularly African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learner (ELL) students. However, the school's performance for White students and students with disabilities is more average, ranking in the middle 50% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Zephyr Elementary School performs significantly better than the Allentown City School District schools, which consistently rank in the bottom 20% of Pennsylvania elementary schools.

The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high proportion of students from low-income families, which can present unique challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
