Journey Elementary has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top 30-35% of Missouri elementary schools over the past 5 years. The school's mathematics performance is particularly strong, with 58.4% of 4th graders and 58.7% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better on the MAP tests in 2024-2025, compared to 43.8% and 38.2% statewide, respectively. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) performance is more mixed, with some grades performing above the state and district averages, while others are below. Journey Elementary also has a strong performance in serving its special education students, ranking in the top 20% of Missouri elementary schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools, Journey Elementary generally outperforms other elementary schools in the Wentzville R-IV district, particularly in mathematics. However, the nearby Flint Hill Elementary, which is part of the Fort Zumwalt School District, has consistently outperformed Journey Elementary in both mathematics and ELA. Additionally, Journey Elementary has seen a decline in chronic absenteeism, but the rate is still higher than the district and state averages, which is an area the school may want to focus on to improve overall student attendance and engagement.
