McCord Public School is a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in Oklahoma. In 2022-2023, the school placed 21st out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools, and in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, it ranked 36th out of 389 and 73rd out of 614, respectively. The school's test scores exceed the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, with 56% of 6th graders proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 26%, and 51% of 3rd graders proficient in math, versus 34% statewide.

Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families (63.64% free/reduced lunch), McCord Public School is able to achieve these strong academic results, likely due to effective strategies to support these students. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8, which may contribute to its success. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% in 2024-2025 is an area for potential improvement, as high absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
