The school is part of the Clayton County School District, which is ranked 173 out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northcutt Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Northcutt Elementary School with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. The school's academic performance is significantly lower than the Clayton County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments, with only 13-30.8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 17.4-37.5% proficient in Mathematics, compared to 17.2-24.7% and 20.7-28.7% for the county, and 34.9-43% and 42.6-49% for the state, respectively. Additionally, Northcutt Elementary School has extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, reaching 100% in the 2023-2024 school year.

When compared to nearby schools in the Fulton County and Clayton County districts, such as Oliver Elementary School and Main Street Charter Academy, Northcutt Elementary School consistently underperforms on academic measures. The school's declining per-student spending, from $9,902 in 2016-2017 to $7,394 in 2018-2019, may also be a contributing factor to its persistent struggles.
