The school is part of the Longwood Central School District, which is ranked 742 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coram Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Math for grades 3 and 4. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 1537 out of 2434 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 2183 out of 2445 in 2023-2024, with a 1-star rating. This concerning trend suggests that the school may be facing challenges in supporting student learning and achievement.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($20,671) and relatively small class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 12.7), the academic performance at Coram Elementary remains below par. This indicates that the school may need to re-evaluate how resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning. Additionally, the high percentage of students (53.28%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the school highlights the socioeconomic challenges faced by the community, raising questions about the equity of educational opportunities and the need for targeted interventions and support.
