Otisville Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, ranking between 1365 and 1664 out of around 2,400-2,450 schools over the past three school years. It has also maintained a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger during this time. The school's test scores in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math are generally below the state average, with some exceptions, and its 5th grade Science proficiency rate of 31.71% is lower than the state average of 35%. Additionally, Otisville Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students (29.88%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which can be an indicator of the socioeconomic status of the student population.

Despite these challenges, Otisville Elementary School has shown some bright spots, with its 3rd grade ELA and Math scores exceeding the district and state averages in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's academic performance appears to be inconsistent across grade levels, with the 4th and 5th grade scores falling below the state average. These findings suggest that the school and district may have opportunities to focus on improving academic outcomes, particularly in the upper elementary grades and in science, while also addressing the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student learning.
