Academically, William T Machan Elementary School is performing significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. In 2022-2023, only 3-14% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and 3-11% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 37-45% and 27-43%, respectively. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Arizona elementary schools, with a ranking of 1238 out of 1245 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. Additionally, the school has experienced a steady increase in dropout rates, from 2.3% in 2017-2018 to 6.4% in 2021-2022.

Interestingly, the nearby schools within the Creighton Elementary District, such as Excelencia School, Creighton Virtual Academy, and Loma Linda Elementary School, also perform significantly below the state averages in academic proficiency, suggesting that the challenges faced by William T Machan Elementary School may be systemic within the district. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $10,543 to $11,949 per student over the past few years, these increased resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes.
