The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the ISAT, is generally lower than the state averages in math, science, and English language arts across various grade levels.

Despite the academic challenges, Forrest M. Bird Charter School maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 82.3% in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% in the same year is relatively high, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic underperformance. Further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's performance and the strategies being implemented to address these challenges would be valuable.
