Will Rogers Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Hobbs district and the state of New Mexico in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate for all grades was 30.77%, compared to 41.2% for the Hobbs district and 44.19% for the state. The school's performance in Science is also below the Hobbs district and state averages, with a 5th-grade proficiency rate of 14.29% in 2024-2025, compared to 20.5% for the Hobbs district and 29.3% for the state. Additionally, the school has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with particularly concerning performance for Hispanic and White students, as well as English Language Learners and students with Special Education needs.

Will Rogers Elementary has experienced a decline in its statewide ranking over the years, from 143 out of 396 in 2018-2019 to 267 out of 345 in 2024-2025, with its overall rating dropping from 3 stars to 1 star during this period. The nearby Coronado Elementary, Mills Elementary, and Broadmoor Elementary generally outperform Will Rogers Elementary in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates, as well as in their statewide rankings. However, the school may be providing effective support for its homeless student population, as it ranked 3 out of 36 in the state for homeless student performance in ELA proficiency in the 2021-2022 school year.
