The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, particularly in Mathematics, and has strong performance among specific student subgroups.

John McIntire Elementary's academic performance is impressive, with 75.4% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, compared to 62.4% for the district and 63.4% for the state. The school's Mathematics proficiency rates also exceed the district and state in grades 3-6. While the school's English Language Arts performance is above the district, it lags behind the state in some grade levels.
