This high-performing school has consistently ranked among the top 10-15% of New York elementary schools, earning a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for its strong academic performance.

The school's performance is also noteworthy across various student subgroups, including female, male, Asian, African American, Hispanic, and white students, as well as special education and low socioeconomic status students. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students is relatively lower compared to other subgroups.
While PS 452 serves a relatively affluent student population, with a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, its strong academic performance is still impressive. The school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio are likely contributing factors to its success. In comparison to nearby schools, PS 452 outperforms Riverside School for Makers and Artists, which has consistently low proficiency rates, while The Anderson School and PS 87 William Sherman are also high-performing schools in the area.
