The school has seen fluctuating performance over the past few years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 449 out of 1,009 elementary schools in 2024-2025 (3-star rating) to 931 out of 983 in 2020-2021 (0-star rating). However, KIPP Nashville College Prep Elementary generally outperforms the Davidson County and Tennessee averages in proficiency rates for Math, English Language Arts, and Science across grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 43.8% of students proficient or better in Math, compared to 31.9% for Davidson County and 42.2% for Tennessee.

The school's performance suggests it is effectively supporting its diverse student population, including a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, but there may be opportunities to improve overall school climate and consistency in academic achievement.
