The district is ranked 215 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Berne-Knox-Westerlo Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, with consistently strong academic achievement across multiple subject areas and grade levels. It has a majority of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, and its statewide ranking has improved over the past three years, earning it a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the Berne-Knox-Westerlo Junior-Senior High School also shows strong performance, particularly in Regents exams, but its performance on the 8th grade state assessments in Math and Science is relatively lower compared to the elementary school.

Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success, with the elementary school having a ratio of 9.5 to 1 and the junior-senior high school having a ratio of 8.5 to 1. The district's spending per student is higher for the junior-senior high school ($23,308) compared to the elementary school ($15,656), which may reflect the additional resources and programming required for secondary education. The free/reduced lunch rates for both schools are around 33%, indicating a moderate level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
