Plevna School has a strong performance history, ranking as high as 1st out of 194 Montana elementary schools in the 2007-2008 school year and consistently maintaining a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with 62.86% proficiency in ELA, 51.43% in Math, and 60% in Science, compared to the state averages of 43.09%, 36.77%, and 38.16%, respectively. Plevna School also has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.8 to 8.2 over the past few years, significantly lower than the nearby Longfellow School (14.3) and Lincoln School (10.0), suggesting a more personalized learning environment for students.

While Plevna School has maintained its strong academic performance, its statewide ranking has declined from 1st in 2007-2008 to 56th in 2024-2025, which could indicate that other schools in the state have improved at a faster rate. The nearby Baker K-12 Schools district, which includes Longfellow and Lincoln Schools, have lower academic performance, higher student-teacher ratios, and lower spending per student compared to Plevna School. Additionally, Plevna School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 30.14% to 45% over the past few years, which can be a challenge for academic achievement, but the school has still managed to maintain its strong performance.
