The school is part of the Hamilton County School District, which is ranked 87 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Allen Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20% of Tennessee elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly higher than the Hamilton County and Tennessee state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Allen Elementary's proficiency rates were 58.1% in Mathematics, 51.2% in English Language Arts, and 55.7% in Science, compared to the Hamilton County averages of 39.7%, 37.1%, and 45.4%, respectively. However, the school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is more mixed, with lower rankings compared to other Tennessee elementary schools.

Allen Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby schools in the Hamilton County district, with higher proficiency rates in core subjects. Schools like Wallace A. Smith Elementary, North Hamilton County Elementary, and McConnell Elementary also perform well and are ranked among the top Tennessee elementary schools. However, some nearby schools, such as Hixson Elementary, struggle with lower academic achievement compared to Allen Elementary and the state averages. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Allen Elementary, as well as many of the nearby schools, suggest a potential area for improvement in student attendance and engagement.
