Roachdale Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, with 45.45% of students proficient or better in ELA and 50.41% proficient or better in math, compared to 40.71% and 40.71% respectively for the district. The school also spends more per student ($11,562 in 2023-2024) than the district average, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. However, Roachdale Elementary has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.7% in 2020-2021 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the district average.

When compared to nearby schools, Roachdale Elementary stands out as a relatively high-performing school.

However, Fillmore Elementary, which is in the South Putnam Community Schools district, outperforms Roachdale in many academic areas. Despite its strong performance, Roachdale Elementary's statewide ranking has declined from 139 in 2016-2017 to 401 in 2024-2025, suggesting that other schools in the state may be improving at a faster rate.
