Castle Heights Elementary has consistently performed well academically, ranking in the top 30-40% of Tennessee elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, 49.8% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 44.5% for the Lebanon district and 42.2% for the state. In English Language Arts, 51.6% of Castle Heights students were proficient or better, compared to 43.3% for the district and 38.9% for the state. The school performs particularly well with Hispanic students and male students, but struggles with Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

The school also faces a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, which is an area of focus for improvement.
