Academically, Bluffview Elementary School has shown mixed performance compared to the state and its district. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 53.5% of students proficient or better in ELA, slightly above the state average but below the district average. In math, the school had 37.7% proficiency, lower than both the state and district averages. The school has also struggled with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 30.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Bluffview Elementary School's performance is generally lower than that of the nearby high-performing schools, such as Parkview Elementary School and Millstadt Primary Center, which are part of the Columbia CUSD 4 and Millstadt CCSD 160 districts, respectively.

However, Bluffview Elementary School has shown relatively strong performance with its low socioeconomic status students, suggesting the school may have effective strategies in place to support this population.

This School has issues with bullying and them doing nothing about it. They over look the issues and the NO HANDS ON POLICY. When students bully or put their hands on others and nothing is done the kids feel frightened to go to School to receive a education and have emotional scaring. Nothing is done with the bully but the victim is punished instead. The safety of ALL students is not this Schools concern. The positive, safe , social setting is not in the core values. Close Quote
