Cassville Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 57.9% in Mathematics and 58.9% in ELA, compared to the state averages of 42.2% and 38.9%, respectively.

Cassville Elementary has a strong performance among its subgroups, particularly for female students and low socioeconomic status (SES) students. In the 2024-2025 school year, female students at Cassville Elementary ranked 237 out of 986 Tennessee elementary schools, while male students ranked 232 out of 984. For low SES students, Cassville Elementary ranked 71 out of 843 Tennessee elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school should address the concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, which rose from 8.3% in the 2023-2024 school year to 20.2% in the 2022-2023 school year. Compared to nearby schools, such as Findlay Elementary, which has consistently higher proficiency rates, and Prescott South Elementary, which outperforms Cassville Elementary, the school has opportunities to learn from the best practices of the top-performing schools in the region.
