The school is part of the Lake Central School Corporation, which is ranked 31 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

George Bibich Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Indiana, with a statewide ranking between 24 and 140 over the past 10 years. The school's academic performance is exceptional, with ILEARN test scores significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in math. For example, in 2024-2025, 75.27% of students were proficient or better in ILEARN math, compared to 54.62% for the Lake Central School Corporation and 51.5% for the state.

While George Bibich outperforms its nearby counterparts, such as Homan Elementary, Peifer Elementary, and Protsman Elementary, there are some schools in other districts, such as Frank H. Hammond Elementary in the School Town of Munster, that demonstrate even higher levels of academic achievement. However, George Bibich's performance is still impressive, and the school may want to investigate the recent increase in chronic absenteeism and develop strategies to address this issue.
