Despite having an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.95% to 99.26% over the past few years, Bay Springs Elementary School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Berry Elementary, North Jones Elementary, and Raleigh Elementary, Bay Springs generally outperforms these schools on test scores, particularly in ELA and Mathematics, but the nearby schools have lower chronic absenteeism rates, which is an area Bay Springs should focus on improving.
