Clardy Elementary has shown a mixed performance in student test scores compared to the district and state averages. While the school has performed above the state average in some grade levels and subjects, such as 3rd grade English Language Arts, it has also underperformed in others, like 5th grade Mathematics. The school has strong performance in certain student subgroups, particularly African American and Hispanic students, ranking highly among Missouri elementary schools in these categories. However, the school's performance for White students and Gifted and Talented students has been relatively lower.

Clardy Elementary faces some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant population of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. When compared to nearby schools in the North Kansas City 74 district, Clardy's performance is mixed, outperforming some schools but lagging behind higher-performing institutions. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending has increased in recent years, suggesting that it is receiving adequate funding to support its educational programs. Addressing the root causes of absenteeism and focusing on the needs of all student subgroups could help Clardy Elementary improve its educational outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.
