Knapp Elementary has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, with students outperforming the Menomonie Area School District and the state of Wisconsin in various subject areas on the Forward Exam. In the 2024-2025 school year, 57.89% of 3rd graders, 57.14% of 4th graders, and 68.75% of 5th graders at Knapp Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district's 47.44% and the state's 52.14%. The school also excelled in mathematics, social studies, and science, with 64.29% of 4th graders and 68.75% of 5th graders proficient or better in mathematics, and 78.57% and 71.43% of 4th graders proficient or better in social studies and science, respectively.

Despite having a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, with 36.56% to 40% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Knapp Elementary has been able to support these students and help them achieve academic success, ranking in the top 25-30% of Wisconsin elementary schools in recent years. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 4.4% to 21.2% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Addressing this issue could further enhance the school's positive trajectory, as it continues to outperform nearby schools in the Menomonie Area School District.
