While the school is part of a high-performing district, Bob Sikes Elementary has consistently lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, with its 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate at 45% in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 59% for the Okaloosa district and 57% for the state. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates at 31.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 53.26% in the same year.
