Hodgeman County Elementary has consistently performed above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grades over the past few years.

However, the school's performance in these areas has been lower than the nearby Spearville Elementary.

On the other hand, the school's performance for female and white students has been more mixed, with rankings in the middle to lower range compared to other Kansas elementary schools. Additionally, Hodgeman County Elementary has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism rates over the past few years, reaching 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the 10.5% rate in the 2023-2024 school year. This trend is concerning and may be an area for the school to focus on improving.
