Nike Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Kansas elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 170 out of 656 schools. The school's performance on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) tests is notably higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 4th-grade English Language Arts. Nike Elementary also has a strong track record of supporting its student subgroups, ranking in the top 5% of Kansas elementary schools for its performance with special education students and in the top 15% for its performance with low socioeconomic status students.

While Nike Elementary's academic performance is impressive, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.1% in the 2022-2023 school year to 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year.
