The school is part of the Roane County School District, which is ranked 63 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Dyllis Springs Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 136 and 363 over the past 8 years. The school's performance on TNReady assessments is significantly higher than the Roane County and Tennessee state averages across all grades and subjects. In 2024-2025, Dyllis Springs Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics (63.9%), English Language Arts (44.4%), and Science (58.6%) for all grades are notably higher than the Roane County and state averages. The school's performance is particularly strong in Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 60.3% to 68.3% across grades 3-5, compared to 43.3% to 47.1% at the state level.

However, Petros Joyner Elementary, located in the Morgan County district, struggles academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages. The significant increase in chronic absenteeism at Dyllis Springs Elementary is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying causes.
