Nauvoo Elementary School has shown mixed performance on standardized tests compared to the state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 61.4% of students proficient or better in ELA, which is higher than the state average of 53.1%. However, in math, only 34% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's performance in science was also below the state average. Additionally, Nauvoo Elementary School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.4% to 26.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school has a relatively high percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, with 44.83% to 53.09% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as La Harpe Elementary School, Carthage Primary School, Hamilton Elementary School, and Dallas City Elementary School, Nauvoo Elementary School generally performs better in ELA but worse in math and science. The school's higher spending per student, ranging from $17,524 to $19,565 in recent years, does not appear to translate into significantly better academic performance compared to the nearby schools, suggesting that factors other than funding may be contributing to the school's performance.
