Academically, Thomas R Proctor High School's performance on Regents/Common Core exams is mixed, with some subjects like Chemistry and U.S. History scoring above the state average, while others like Algebra I and Living Environment are significantly below. The school's student population is predominantly low-income, with 75.89% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
