Caloosa Elementary consistently outperforms the Lee District and Florida state averages in standardized test scores, including FAST English Language Arts and Math, as well as Statewide Science assessments for 5th grade. In the 2024-2025 school year, Caloosa Elementary's proficiency rates were 54% in 3rd grade ELA, 57% in 4th grade ELA, and 63% in 5th grade Math, compared to the district's 48%, 50%, and 48% respectively, and the state's 57%, 56%, and 57%. However, the school faces challenges with higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.3% to 36.4% in recent years, which is above the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Caloosa Elementary generally outperforms in academic metrics, such as Edison Park Creative And Expressive Arts School and Diplomat Elementary School, which have shown comparable or even higher performance in certain grade levels and subject areas. The nearby Heritage Charter Academy Of Cape Coral has lower academic performance compared to Caloosa Elementary, particularly in the lower grade levels. Caloosa Elementary's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55% to 63%, suggests a relatively high-need student population, which may contribute to the school's academic performance challenges.
