The school performs relatively better for its African American student population, ranking in the top 50% of Illinois elementary schools for this subgroup.

In the 2024-2025 school year, only 30.2% of Shoop Math-Sci Technical Elementary Academy students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and only 12.8% were proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly below the district and state averages.

Comparing Shoop Math-Sci Technical Elementary Academy to nearby schools, such as Esmond Elementary School, Higgins Elementary Community Academy, and Colemon J Elementary Academy, reveals that these schools generally perform better on key metrics like statewide ranking, academic achievement, and chronic absenteeism. For example, Colemon J Elementary Academy ranks in the top 50% of Illinois elementary schools and has significantly higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to Shoop Math-Sci Technical Elementary Academy. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Shoop Math-Sci Technical Elementary Academy, the school's academic performance and other key metrics suggest that the resources are not being effectively utilized to drive student outcomes.
