Maple Grove Elementary does not appear to be a standout school compared to state and district averages. The school's proficiency rates on the MAP tests are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rate in ELA was 24.2%, compared to 46.7% for the district and 41.8% for the state.

While the school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are in line with typical levels, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.13% in 2023-2024, suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. The school's statewide ranking has also dropped from 186 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 417 out of 906 in 2023-2024, indicating a decline in performance relative to other schools in the state.
