George Herbert Walker Bush Elementary has shown inconsistent performance on STAAR assessments, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1,456 to 2,697 out of around 4,600 Texas elementary schools. The school's performance on STAAR Reading and Mathematics tests is generally below the district and state averages, though there are some exceptions, such as the 5th-grade STAAR Reading and Mathematics proficiency rates being higher than the district and state in 2021-2022. The school's performance on STAAR Spanish assessments is also mixed, with some grades and subjects performing better than the district and state, while others lag behind.

With around 80-82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, George Herbert Walker Bush Elementary has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. When compared to nearby schools in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, the school generally performs below the district average on STAAR assessments. However, the school's increased per-student spending and improved student-teacher ratio may indicate a positive trend in the availability of resources to support student learning, and the school may benefit from learning from the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the area.
