The school's low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 students per teacher may contribute to its academic success.

However, some nearby schools, like Bridges Community Elementary, have also demonstrated strong academic performance. Nicollet Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, and the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may present challenges in maintaining its high level of academic achievement.
