Charles W Morey consistently performs below the Lowell district and Massachusetts state averages on MCAS English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments across all grades. For example, in 2024-2025, only 29.76% of Charles W Morey students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 27.63% for Lowell and 41.53% for Massachusetts. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 445 out of 942 in 2018-2019 to 556 out of 906 in 2024-2025. However, the school excels in supporting English Language Learners and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the top quartile of Massachusetts schools for these subgroups.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in Lowell, such as Abraham Lincoln, Washington, and Cardinal O'Connell Early Learning Center, Charles W Morey generally performs worse on MCAS assessments, with lower proficiency rates in both ELA and Math. The school's spending per student is higher than some of its neighbors, suggesting that additional resources may not be translating into improved academic outcomes.
