Peiffer Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math compared to the state and district averages. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.2, which is lower than some nearby schools like Governor's Ranch Elementary and Westridge Elementary. However, the school's racial makeup is less diverse than the surrounding area, with a higher percentage of White and Asian students than the district average.

While Peiffer Elementary maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's performance for specific subgroups, such as White students, has been more variable. The school's ranking for White students has declined in recent years, indicating a need to focus on supporting this subgroup. Overall, Peiffer Elementary is a solid-performing school, but it may need to address some areas of concern to ensure continued academic growth and improvement for all students.
