Elmdale Elementary consistently performs below the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with only around 15-20% of students meeting proficiency standards in core subjects, compared to 30-37% for the district and 34-39% for the state. The school's performance has declined over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 336 out of 485 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 449 out of 495 in 2024-2025. Elmdale has a very high percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 87% to 97%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.7 to 18.4, which is higher than nearby schools like Parson Hills Elementary, Thurman G. Smith Elementary, and Hunt Elementary.

Compared to nearby schools, Elmdale Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower. Schools like Thurman G. Smith Elementary and John Tyson Elementary have higher proficiency rates, higher statewide rankings, and lower percentages of students from low-income families. Even the Lisa Academy Springdale, a public charter school, outperforms Elmdale Elementary despite having a higher percentage of students from low-income families. The high concentration of students from low-income families and the relatively high student-teacher ratio at Elmdale Elementary may be contributing factors to its underperformance compared to nearby schools.
