San Jon Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 45th out of 396 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 173rd out of 435 in 2022-2023, with a current ranking of 161st out of 433 in 2023-2024. While the school outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, it lags behind nearby Grady Elementary and Logan Elementary schools in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, San Jon Elementary has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 45.24% and 45.45% at Grady Elementary and Logan Elementary, respectively.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.0 to 9.7 students per teacher, the inconsistent academic performance and socioeconomic challenges suggest that San Jon Elementary may need to address these factors to improve student outcomes. Learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, such as Grady Elementary and Logan Elementary, could be a key focus area for San Jon Elementary to enhance its academic excellence.
