Hemlock Creek Elementary consistently ranks among the top 10-20% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with rankings ranging from 93 to 134 out of over 1,000 schools in recent years. The school's performance on the Forward Exam, Wisconsin's standardized assessment, is significantly higher than the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, Hemlock Creek's 3rd-grade students scored 75% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 79.61% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 52.14% and 55%, respectively.

While Hemlock Creek Elementary has a strong performance across various student subgroups, with several groups ranking in the top 25% of Wisconsin elementary schools, the school's performance for English Language Learners and low socioeconomic status students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 50% of Wisconsin elementary schools. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.1% in 2020-2021 to 19.5% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern that the school and district should address. When compared to nearby schools, Hemlock Creek Elementary outperforms schools like Doty Elementary and Langlade Elementary in the Green Bay Area Public School District, but its performance is comparable to the highly-ranked schools in the De Pere School District, such as Dickinson Elementary and Heritage Elementary.
