Robert Frost's academic performance is consistently lower than the state averages across all grades and subjects. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in MCAS Next Generation English Language Arts and Mathematics were 24.19% and 36.74% respectively, compared to the state averages of 41.53% and 40.74%. While the school performs better than the Lawrence district average, it lags behind the nearby Andover schools, which are among the top-performing in the state.

The data also reveals significant disparities in academic achievement among different student subgroups at Robert Frost. The school's Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students perform relatively better, ranking in the top half of Massachusetts elementary schools.
