The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 528 out of 2,201 New York elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,872 out of 2,434 in 2021-2022, suggesting inconsistent academic performance. Additionally, PS 182 has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.56% to 89.96% over the past three school years, indicating a high proportion of students from low-income families.
