The school has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Kentucky, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Cassidy Elementary excels academically, with students significantly outperforming the Fayette County and Kentucky state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 80% of Cassidy's 3rd-grade students scored proficient or better in both Mathematics and Reading, compared to just 45% and 50% for Fayette County, and 43% and 47% for the state, respectively.

When compared to nearby schools in the Fayette County district, Cassidy Elementary significantly outperforms them in academic achievement, with much higher proficiency rates in Mathematics, Reading, and other subject areas. This highlights the school's exceptional educational quality within the local context. While Cassidy Elementary is a high-performing school, there are areas for potential improvement, such as the performance of Hispanic students and students with disabilities, which have lower rankings compared to other subgroups.
