Mabel Rush Elementary has shown mixed performance compared to its local and state peers. While the school has consistently ranked in the top half of Oregon elementary schools, its academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been variable, sometimes lagging behind the district and state averages. However, the school has demonstrated strength in 5th-grade Science proficiency, outperforming both the district and state.

Additionally, the nearby Sherwood School District, ranked 4 out of 140 in Oregon, has several elementary schools that significantly outperform Mabel Rush. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 20.1% in 2023-2024 to 38.1% in 2022-2023, which is an area the school and district should address.
