The school's academic performance has been mixed, with 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (51.28%) and Math (58.97%) exceeding the state averages, but overall proficiency rates in ELA (39.08%) and Math (42.86%) slightly below the district averages. However, the school generally outperforms the nearby North White Elementary School, which has lower proficiency rates across all grades. Compared to higher-performing schools like Culver Elementary School, Eastern Pulaski Elementary lags behind in ELA and Math proficiency.

Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 45.54% in 2021-2022 to 56.44% in 2023-2024, suggesting the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. The school has responded by increasing per-student spending from $9,447 in 2020-2021 to $12,762 in 2023-2024 and decreasing the student-teacher ratio from 15.6 to 14.1 during the same period, indicating a focus on allocating more resources to support student learning.
