Despite being part of the Tulsa School District, which is ranked 387 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Carnegie Elementary has consistently outperformed the district and state averages in various academic subjects.

In 2024-2025, 43% of Carnegie Elementary students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 13% for Tulsa and 26% for the state. Similarly, 44% of Carnegie students were proficient or better in 5th grade Science, compared to 14% for Tulsa and 33% for the state.

While Carnegie Elementary's performance has declined over the years, dropping from a high ranking of 16th in the state in 2010-2011 to 150th in 2024-2025, the school still stands out among its nearby counterparts, such as Marshall Elementary and McClure Elementary, which have significantly lower test scores and rankings. The school's ability to achieve strong academic outcomes despite its district's low ranking and rating is a testament to the dedication and effectiveness of its staff and leadership.
