The school is part of the Florence 01 School District, which is ranked 26 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's high per-student funding of $20,884, which is significantly higher than the nearby Briggs Elementary, Royall Elementary, and Carver Elementary, Brockington Elementary Magnet has consistently ranked in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools, with rankings between 533 and 598 out of 640-644 schools over the past three school years. The school has received 0-1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance.

Brockington Elementary Magnet's performance is particularly low for male students and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the bottom half of South Carolina elementary schools for these subgroups.

Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as chronic absenteeism and effective instructional strategies, may be key to driving meaningful improvements.
