Hackett Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Wisconsin elementary schools over the past decade, with its ranking ranging from 525 out of 632 schools in 2004-2005 to 996 out of 1,061 schools in 2023-2024. The school has maintained a 0- or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger during this time period. Academically, Hackett's performance on the Forward Exam is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 5.88% of 5th-grade students at Hackett were proficient or better in math, compared to 15.86% in the district and 52.58% statewide.

Hackett Elementary also faces challenges with high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.7% to 40.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. While the school spends more per student ($16,920 in 2020-2021) compared to nearby schools, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. In comparison, some nearby schools in the Janesville School District and Clinton Community School District, such as Jackson Elementary and Clinton Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance and lower rates of chronic absenteeism.
