Russell St Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 221 out of 906 schools. The school's performance on MCAS Next Generation assessments is strong, with 53.12% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 59.51% proficient or better in Mathematics across all grades in 2024-2025.

The school has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, from $13,410 in 2018-2019 to $15,543 in 2020-2021, and a decrease in student-teacher ratio from 15.3 in 2021-2022 to 13.3 in 2023-2024, indicating a focus on smaller class sizes and resource allocation. Compared to nearby schools in the Acton-Boxborough and Westford districts, Russell St Elementary is a strong performer within its own district, but may have opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies of the higher-performing schools in the surrounding areas.
