The school's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year, indicating significant room for improvement.

Niangua Elementary's academic proficiency lags behind state averages in several key areas, including mathematics, science, and English language arts. In 5th grade, only 13.7% of students are proficient in mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.2%, and 22.8% are proficient in science, compared to the state average of 42.2%. While 6th grade English language arts proficiency is on par with the state average, 5th grade proficiency is significantly lower at 27.4% versus the state's 44.3%. The school's 3rd and 4th grade proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts also fall short of state benchmarks.

Niangua Elementary faces additional challenges, including a high percentage of students (68.7%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economic need among the student population. The school's per-student spending of $10,188 for the 2021-2022 school year may not be sufficient to address these needs and improve academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Niangua Elementary requires a comprehensive approach to address its performance issues and support the learning and development of its students.
