With a total enrollment of 265 students, Arbor Hill Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools over the past three school years, indicating a persistent issue with academic achievement.

Arbor Hill Elementary's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math on the New York State Assessments ranging from just 12.5% to 34.21% across grades 3-5, compared to state averages of 42.6% to 58.03%. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 7.89% is also far below the state average of 35%. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention, the academic outcomes remain poor.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as Arbor Hill Elementary has a high percentage of students (86.79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's per-student spending of $23,792 is higher than the state average, suggesting that additional resources are being directed to the school, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the persistent low performance at Arbor Hill Elementary will require a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems to better meet the needs of its students.
