The school is part of the Montgomery County School District, which is ranked 109 out of 135 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Fitzpatrick Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Alabama elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fitzpatrick Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and equitable outcomes for its student population. The school consistently underperforms compared to the Montgomery County and Alabama state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 17.74% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to 28.05% in Montgomery County and 45.47% statewide. Additionally, Fitzpatrick Elementary has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.8% to 30.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students (over 95%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population.

The nearby schools in the Montgomery County district, such as Johnson Elementary, Dannelly Elementary, and Crump Elementary, also perform poorly and have similar demographic and socioeconomic profiles to Fitzpatrick Elementary, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. In contrast, the magnet schools in the area, such as Bear Exploration Center and MacMillan International at McKee, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates well above the state and district averages.
