Elm Street Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates on the Georgia Milestones assessments are significantly lower than the state and district averages, ranging from 12.2% to 50.9% in 2024-2025, while the state averages ranged from 34.9% to 44.3%. Additionally, Elm Street Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 94.02% to 98.59% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Elm Street Elementary to other nearby schools in the Rome City and Floyd County districts, it becomes clear that Elm Street is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. For example, East Central Elementary and West End Elementary, both in the Rome City district, significantly outperform Elm Street on test scores and have higher SchoolDigger ratings. The relatively low spending per student at Elm Street Elementary compared to some nearby schools may also be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance.
