Elk Lake's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Northeast Bradford Junior/Senior High School, Blue Ridge High School, and Montrose Area Junior/Senior High School.

Elk Lake's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds may be contributing to the school's relatively lower academic performance.
