The school's academic performance on standardized tests is also mixed, with proficiency rates in math and reading that are both above and below the state averages. However, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is slightly above the state average. Elkin Elementary has a student-teacher ratio of 15.3, which is slightly lower than the state average, and a relatively high percentage of students (53.88%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

By understanding the factors contributing to these areas of success, the school and the Elkin City Schools district can work to improve overall academic achievement and support the needs of their economically disadvantaged students.
