West Lincoln-Broadwell Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) exams. In the 2024-2025 school year, 70.9% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%. In Mathematics, the school had 51.6% proficiency, compared to the state's 38.5%. The school's performance is particularly strong in the upper grades, with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade ELA proficiency rates of 89.5%, 93.3%, and 84.4% respectively, significantly higher than the state averages.

While the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.9% in 2023-2024 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, it outperforms most nearby schools in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's ELA proficiency of 70.9% was significantly higher than the 61.3% at Olympia South Elementary School and the 40.7% at Washington-Monroe Elementary School. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 may contribute to its strong academic performance.
