Pennyroyal's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly below the Franklin City and Ohio state averages, but the school stands out for its stronger performance on English Language Arts tests for 5th and 6th graders. Additionally, Pennyroyal has seen a steady decline in chronic absenteeism rates, outperforming the district and state averages.

The school's performance on state tests for students with disabilities and low-socioeconomic status is an area of strength, ranking in the top half of Ohio elementary schools for these subgroups.
