Marmaton Valley Elementary has shown mixed performance on state assessments, outperforming the state average in Mathematics (61.19% proficient vs. 38.73%) and Science (61.9% proficient vs. 41.44%) in 2024-2025, but underperforming in English Language Arts (50.74% proficient vs. 44.47%). The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its ranking among Kansas elementary schools ranging from 201 (2024-2025) to 522 (2021-2022).

Compared to nearby schools, Marmaton Valley Elementary generally outperforms Humboldt Elementary School and Crest Elementary in terms of student performance on state assessments, particularly in Mathematics and Science. However, Marmaton Valley Elementary has a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to its lower performance in some areas. West Bourbon Elementary, located about 12 miles from Marmaton Valley, consistently outperforms Marmaton Valley and the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, suggesting that it may be a model for Marmaton Valley to emulate.
