Bacon District Elementary consistently outperforms state and district averages in standardized test scores, particularly in mathematics and English reading.

The school also excels in specific student subgroups, such as female, male, African American, and low-socioeconomic status students, ranking highly compared to other Virginia elementary schools. While the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, it has shown improvement in this area over the past few years.
