Three Lakes Academy has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, indicating a relatively stable level of performance. The school's 5th-grade students performed significantly better than the state averages in science and social studies, suggesting potential areas of strength in the curriculum and instruction. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% is notably higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern and a potential focus for improvement efforts. Additionally, 70% of students at Three Lakes Academy were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Three Lakes Academy's performance on the M-Step assessments is mixed compared to state averages, with some grades above and some below the state averages in English Language Arts and Math, the data provides a useful benchmark for understanding the school's relative strengths and weaknesses. The school's spending per student of $14,294 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year suggest that the school is allocating resources to support student learning.
