Reeves-Rogers Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Murfreesboro district and the state of Tennessee in academic proficiency rates for Math, English Language Arts (ELA), and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had a 35.6% proficiency rate in Math, compared to 47.8% for Murfreesboro and 42.2% for Tennessee. Similarly, in ELA, Reeves-Rogers had a 29.6% proficiency rate, compared to 41.5% for Murfreesboro and 38.9% for Tennessee.

Reeves-Rogers Elementary also has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups. While Hispanic students perform relatively well, ranking in the top quartile of Tennessee elementary schools, African American, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students at the school perform in the bottom quartile. Additionally, Reeves-Rogers has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.7% to 20.2% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,672 in the 2023-2024 school year suggests that funding alone may not be the primary driver of academic outcomes, and other factors, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student support services, may play a more significant role.
