Seaton Elementary has shown a mixed academic performance, with strengths in the early grades and for certain student subgroups, but also challenges in maintaining consistent progress. In the 2024-2025 school year, Seaton's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics were below the DCPS and DC state averages for all grades. However, the school's 3rd-grade ELA and Math proficiency rates were higher than the district and state averages, indicating stronger performance in the early grades. Seaton's performance has fluctuated over the years, with a higher ranking (32nd out of 128 DC elementary schools) and 4-star rating in 2022-2023, but a lower ranking (50th out of 128) and 3-star rating in 2024-2025.

Seaton Elementary is located in close proximity to several other public and public charter schools, including Thomson Elementary, Walker-Jones Education Campus, Garrison Elementary, and Cleveland Elementary. These nearby schools have varying levels of academic performance, with Garrison Elementary and Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS - J.F. Cook performing significantly better than Seaton on standardized assessments. This proximity presents opportunities for collaboration and learning from the best practices of higher-performing institutions.
