Academically, Antioch Elementary School's performance, as measured by the Milestones Assessment, is generally below the Whitfield County and Georgia state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 26.5% (5th grade) to 36% (3rd grade), compared to the Whitfield County averages of 37.4% to 33.5%, and the Georgia state averages of 43% to 34.9%.

Antioch Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 502 out of 1,209 Georgia elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 849 out of 1,248 in 2023-2024, and it has consistently been rated 2 or 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

Additionally, Antioch Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 89.66% in 2022-2023 to 96.6% in 2023-2024, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school has a higher spending per student and a smaller student-teacher ratio compared to the district and state averages, indicating that factors beyond just funding and class size may be contributing to the school's academic struggles.
