Pretty Prairie Middle has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.9% to 23.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 40.22% to 51.52% over the past few years. Compared to nearby schools, such as Hutchinson Middle School 7 and Haven Middle School, Pretty Prairie Middle generally underperforms in academic measures, such as test scores and proficiency rates.

The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 90th out of 350 Kansas middle schools in 2017-2018 to 230th out of 363 in 2024-2025. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for intervention and improvement strategies. The school's spending per student ($8,322 in 2018-2019) is also lower than the nearby schools, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by Pretty Prairie Middle.
