The school is part of the Cabarrus County Schools district, which is ranked 66 out of 242 school districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Patriots Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25-30% of elementary schools in North Carolina, with a statewide ranking between 270-467 out of over 1,500 schools. The school's performance on state standardized tests (EOG) is notably higher than the Cabarrus County and North Carolina averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas, including mathematics, reading, and science.

While Patriots Elementary outperforms most of the nearby schools in the Cabarrus County district, including Bethel Elementary, R. Brown McAllister Elementary, and Wolf Meadow Elementary, on state standardized tests, Hickory Ridge Elementary and Harrisburg Elementary, which are also in the Cabarrus County district, consistently outperform Patriots Elementary, ranking in the top 5-10% of North Carolina elementary schools. Additionally, Patriots Elementary has seen a significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rate, from 19.02% in 2021-2022 to 40% in 2023-2024, which may present challenges for the school in maintaining its high academic performance.
