Farnsworth Elementary generally performs better than the district average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics.

In Mathematics, 43.1% of Farnsworth students were proficient or better, compared to 27.3% for the district. Farnsworth also ranks particularly well for English Language Learners and Special Education students, suggesting the school has effective programs and support systems in place for these subgroups.

Additionally, Farnsworth has a high percentage of low-income students, with 57.99% to 65.9% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, which may be impacting the school's overall academic performance.
