The school has also shown strengths in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic and Asian students, who outperformed the state averages in both ELA and Mathematics. However, the school's White and multi-racial students performed below the state averages in these subjects.

Interestingly, Campbell STEM Elementary's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating have fluctuated over the years, suggesting inconsistent performance. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio than many of the nearby Chinook Elementary, Northwood ABC, Willow Crest Elementary, and other schools in the area, which may present unique challenges. However, the school's performance in some areas, such as Science, is on par or even better than some of its neighbors, indicating that factors beyond just the student-teacher ratio may be influencing the school's overall performance.
