Academically, Hodgenville Elementary School's performance is generally below the state average and the performance of nearby schools. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 43%, compared to the state average of 43% and the higher rates of nearby schools like Cecilia Valley Elementary (73%) and Lincoln Trail Elementary (61%). The school's reading proficiency rates are also lower than the state and nearby schools, with 3rd grade reading proficiency at 52% compared to the state average of 47%. Additionally, Hodgenville Elementary School's performance in other subjects, such as science, writing, and social studies, also lags behind the state and nearby schools.

Hodgenville Elementary School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.3% to 28.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past several years, from 178th out of 691 Kentucky elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 417th out of 685 schools in 2024-2025, suggesting a downward trend in performance compared to other elementary schools in the state. These challenges may be exacerbated by the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with 53.25% to 59.55% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.
