In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (32.1%), Reading (32.1%), and Mathematics (34.6%) were below the state averages, but its Science proficiency rate of 32.9% was closer to the state average of 38.1%.

Dewitt Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.4% to 67.43%, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among its student population.

Compared to the nearby Park Avenue Elementary School in the Stuttgart School District, Dewitt Elementary appears to be performing better, with Park Avenue having consistently lower test scores and a lower statewide ranking.
