In math and English language arts, Lawrenceburg Public School leads all nearby schools. For 2025–2026, math proficiency was 67.6% and ELA proficiency was 61.6%, roughly 24 and 21 percentage points above the state average, respectively. By comparison, Summertown Elementary School posted 60.4% math and 52.7% ELA, while New Prospect Elementary School posted 54.4% math and 50.8% ELA. Chronic absenteeism is also far below average at 8.8%, compared with the district's 14.5% and the state's 18.3%.

Science is the relative weak spot, with 3rd- and 4th-grade science proficiency below the district average. One metric parents should watch is the school's low-socioeconomic-status subgroup ranking, which fell from the 96th–98th percentile in prior years to the 34th percentile in 2025–2026, though overall performance remained strong. The school has been a reliable 4-star performer for a decade, making it an anchor of academic quality within Lawrence County Schools.
