Terry Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Arkansas elementary schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 14.7% of Terry students were proficient in Mathematics, compared to 38.7% statewide and 25.7% in the Little Rock School District. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.68% to 100% over the past 3 years, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16 to 17.7 students per teacher over the past 3 years, Terry Elementary's academic performance lags behind its higher-performing counterparts, both within the Little Rock School District and in the charter school sector. For example, Jefferson Elementary, also in the Little Rock School District, ranks among the top 3 elementary schools in the state and has significantly higher proficiency rates across all subject areas. Similarly, nearby charter schools, such as Lisa Academy West Elementary, outperform Terry Elementary in academic proficiency, despite serving a more diverse student population.
