Pevely Elementary is part of the Dunklin R-V school district, which is ranked 181 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pevely Elementary's academic performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally below the state averages in both mathematics and English language arts across grades 3-5. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.7% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 38.2%. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past two school years, with some slight improvements in certain grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 22.2% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Despite the school's academic challenges, Pevely Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1 and per-student spending that is above the state average. However, the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, as 50.56% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. Addressing the factors contributing to the school's underperformance and high chronic absenteeism, while also supporting the unique needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, could be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students at Pevely Elementary.
