Bancroft-Rosalie Elementary School has generally performed better than the state average on NSCAS (Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System) tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had 65% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to the state averages of 58.91% and 60.65% respectively. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.0% in 2022-2023 to 21.1% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, from $14,050 in 2019-2020 to $22,954 in 2022-2023, indicating a focus on investing in the education of its students.

When compared to nearby schools, Bancroft-Rosalie Elementary School generally performs better than Winnebago Elementary School, which has consistently low test scores and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Pender Elementary School and Oakland Craig Elementary, which have 4- and 5-star ratings respectively. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 155 out of 480 schools in 2015-2016 to 353 out of 452 schools in 2018-2019. The school's recent improvement to a 3-star rating in 2023-2024 suggests that it is on a positive trajectory, but continued efforts are needed to maintain and build upon this progress.
