The school is part of the Elkhorn Public Schools district, which is ranked 2nd out of 115 districts in Nebraska and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Hillrise Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Nebraska, with rankings ranging from 14th to 63rd out of hundreds of schools over the past several years. The school's students consistently perform above the state and district averages in NSCAS (Nebraska Student-Centered Assessment System) English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, with proficiency rates often exceeding 80% in both subjects. Particularly impressive is the performance of Hillrise Elementary's 5th-grade students, who have achieved proficiency rates in the high 70s and 80s in both ELA and Math.

Hillrise Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with only 17-24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12 to 12.5 students per teacher, and its per-student spending is relatively high, ranging from $11,592 to $13,499 per student in the past few years. These factors likely contribute to the school's strong academic outcomes, which are generally stronger than the nearby schools within the Elkhorn Public Schools district.
