With a total enrollment of 385 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York elementary schools, with below-average performance on state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.7 to 1. However, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 63.38% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, the school performs better than the state average on Regents exams, with 85.71% of students scoring proficient or better in Living Environment and 100% in Algebra I.

Overall, Elmwood Village Charter School Hertel faces significant academic challenges, particularly in the areas of ELA and math proficiency on state assessments. The school's high proportion of economically disadvantaged students may be a contributing factor, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support to address these disparities and improve student outcomes.
