Comanche Elementary consistently performs above the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 48.73%, compared to 43.65% for Albuquerque and 44.19% for the state. In the same year, Comanche Elementary's Mathematics proficiency rate for all grades was 31.65%, compared to 26.48% for Albuquerque and 26.81% for the state. The school's 5th-grade students outperformed their Albuquerque and state counterparts in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency.

Comanche Elementary has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with rates consistently above 100% in recent years, indicating that the school serves a high-need population from a socioeconomically disadvantaged background. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.8 to 13.5 students per teacher in recent years, suggests that it may be able to provide more individualized attention and support to its students. While Comanche Elementary outperforms most nearby schools, such as Inez Elementary, Bel-Air Elementary, and Gov Bent Elementary, the high-performing Desert Willow Family School significantly outperforms Comanche Elementary in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency.
