East Union Elementary has seen mixed academic outcomes on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) tests.

The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (48.57% in 2023-2024), which suggests a population with lower socioeconomic status. However, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and it has a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.4, indicating that the district is investing resources in the school. These factors may contribute to the school's mixed academic performance and fluctuating statewide ranking.
