Charles W McCrary Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1,136 and 1,386 out of around 1,500 schools. The school's performance on state standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in mathematics at Charles W McCrary Elementary was 46.4%, compared to 49.4% for the Asheboro City Schools district and 64.1% for the state of North Carolina. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and male students.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Charles W McCrary Elementary, ranging from 65.82% in 2021-2022 to 99.13% in 2023-2024, is likely a major contributing factor to the school's academic struggles. However, the school's performance is significantly lower than that of the other elementary schools in the Asheboro City Schools district, such as Guy B Teachey Elementary, Balfour Elementary, Donna L Loflin Elementary, and Lindley Park Elementary, suggesting that the school may be facing broader systemic challenges that go beyond just the socioeconomic status of its student population.
