In 2025–2026 the school ranked 705th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — the 32nd percentile, with 2 stars — well above its district, which ranks 418th of 432 districts statewide (3rd percentile, 0 stars). Within its nearby district cluster, it outranks Whitman Elementary (11th percentile), Milwaukee Spanish Immersion (18th), Honey Creek Elementary (24th), Fairview Elementary (17th), and Alcott Elementary (9th). It ties Glenwood Elementary at the 32nd percentile, though Glenwood has lower poverty and much lower absenteeism. Mitchell Elementary in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District ranks higher (51st percentile, 3 stars) with lower poverty and far fewer absences.

Against the state, the school exceeds state averages in 4th-grade ELA (57.97%) and 4th-grade social studies (66.67%), roughly matches 4th-grade science, and trails in 3rd- and 5th-grade ELA and all math, especially 5th-grade math (25.37% versus 51.81%). Subgroup results are strongest for English Language Learner students (82nd percentile, 4 stars), while special education students rank 24th percentile, 1 star. Spending is $20,193 per student, but the 17.2 student-teacher ratio is higher than nearby suburban schools (11.1–14.7).
