Dr. C.T. Vivian Primary School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state in academic proficiency, with only 36.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 27.7% in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, compared to the state average of 23.3%.

For example, Kellar Primary School, which is only 2.51 miles away, has significantly higher academic proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as a lower chronic absenteeism rate. To address these issues, the school and district should consider implementing targeted academic interventions, developing strategies to address chronic absenteeism, and exploring ways to leverage the school's higher spending per student to improve student outcomes.
