The school is part of the Putnam Central School District, which is ranked 506 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Putnam Central School's academic performance is mixed, with 4th grade students performing better than the state average in ELA and Math, but 6th grade students performing significantly worse. The school's 5th grade students, however, excelled in Science, scoring much higher than the state average. Despite these inconsistencies, the school maintains a very low student-teacher ratio of 6:1, which may allow for more personalized attention and support for students.

While the small size of the school may be beneficial in some ways, it also raises questions about the school's ability to offer a diverse range of educational opportunities and extracurricular activities to its students.
