Greystone consistently ranks among the top 2% of elementary schools in Alabama, with a 5-star rating every year for the past decade. Its academic performance is exceptional—proficiency rates in math, English, and science are roughly double the state averages and significantly outpace district averages. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency is 88.5% compared to the state's 44.9%, and 3rd grade English proficiency is 95.1% versus the state's 64.8%. The school is particularly strong in literacy and science, with 4th grade science proficiency at 88.7%. One of Greystone's most distinctive strengths is its support for special education students, ranking in the top 1% of schools statewide in this category. The school also excels with students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 98th percentile. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1 and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 6.5% (half the state average), Greystone fosters strong engagement and individualized attention.

Compared to nearby schools, Greystone holds its own against elite institutions. It outperforms Forest Oaks Elementary School and Oak Mountain Elementary School in most subjects, and is essentially tied with Brookwood Forest Elementary School (ranked 3rd statewide) in 3rd grade math and 5th grade English, despite serving a more diverse socioeconomic population. Within the Hoover district, Greystone significantly outperforms Rocky Ridge Elementary School—for instance, 88.5% vs. 59.0% in 3rd grade math. While 5th grade math scores have dipped slightly in recent years (from 80% to 70%), they remain well above state averages.
