In Mathematics, only 9.6% of 7th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 31.5% statewide and 20.3% in the district. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 48.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio at Warm Springs K-8 Academy, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, which may suggest that resources are not being effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning. While the nearby Culver Elementary School and Metolius Elementary School in the Culver School District 4 also struggle with low performance, Warm Springs K-8 Academy stands out as the lowest-performing, with the largest gaps in academic proficiency compared to the state and district averages.
