Eloy Junior High School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 21% of 6th-grade students and 14% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 41% and 40%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state, with only 18% of 6th-graders and 9% of 8th-graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 31% and 27%. Additionally, the school has experienced relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 3.3% to 6.1%, which are higher than the state average.

While the nearby middle schools, such as Villago Middle School, Coolidge Junior High School, and Casa Grande Middle School, also perform below the state average in academic measures, they generally outperform Eloy Junior High School.
