Neal Elementary has struggled academically in recent years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 1 and 3 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in STAAR Reading and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades are below the district and state averages, indicating room for improvement.

The school has a very high percentage of students (over 90%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.
