The school is part of the McLean County school district, which is ranked 72 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Marie Gatton Phillips Elementary's academic performance is mixed compared to state and county averages.

The school's 5th-grade reading proficiency was also below the county average but higher than the state. Notably, the school had a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 25.0% in 2024-2025.

Regarding resources, the school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $16,613, and the student-teacher ratio was 14.7, which is relatively low.

Addressing the school's academic challenges, attendance issues, and the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population should be priorities for the school and district.
