Raymond Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly in recent years, going from 72nd out of 290 schools in 2022-2023 (4-star rating) to 185th out of 288 schools in 2023-2024 (2-star rating) and 212th out of 289 schools in 2024-2025 (1-star rating).

The school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
On a positive note, the school has a low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 17.5%, indicating a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.1.
