The school is part of the Litchfield Elementary District, which is ranked 115 out of 289 districts in Arizona and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dreaming Summit Elementary faces several key challenges, including underperformance in academic assessments compared to the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. The school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science was generally below the Litchfield Elementary District and the state average. Additionally, the school has mixed performance across different student subgroups, with particular struggles for female students, male students, Native American students, and English Language Learners. Dreaming Summit Elementary's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, at 44.87%, may contribute to these academic challenges.

My kids have been attending Dreaming Summit over the last six years; my five year old is now graduating into kindergarten and cannot read and cannot identify his letters. Very few papers are sent home to show progress. I do enjoy the faculty - they are very considerate, and the building is kept very nice - I just wish the Litchfield Park provided better educational benefits. Close Quote
