Academically, Dixon Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom half of Alabama elementary schools, with standardized test scores significantly below the state and county averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 26.47% of 3rd-grade students at Dixon Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 36.88% in Mobile County and 45.47% in Alabama. The school's performance on English/Language Arts assessments is slightly better but still lags behind.

The nearby schools, such as WC Griggs Elementary, Hollingers Island Elementary, and Nan Gray Davis Elementary, generally perform better academically and have lower rates of chronic absenteeism. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors and providing targeted interventions will likely be crucial for improving student outcomes at Dixon Elementary.
