North Muskegon Elementary consistently outperforms the state average on M-Step assessments across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, 78.4% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 42.7%. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 38.87% in 2023-2024. However, the school's ranking among Michigan elementary schools has declined from a high of 122 out of 1,548 in 2015-2016 to 465 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025, suggesting it may be facing challenges in maintaining its high level of academic achievement.

While North Muskegon Elementary outperforms many of the nearby schools, particularly those in the Muskegon Public Schools district, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the Reeths-Puffer district. The school's performance on state assessments also varies significantly by student subgroup, with large achievement gaps between white students and other subgroups.
