The school is part of the Cabell County Schools district, which is ranked 10th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Martha Elementary School consistently performs above the state and district averages in standardized test scores for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 74.1%, compared to 53.9% for the Cabell County Schools district and 53% for the state of West Virginia. The school also excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, Special Education students, and Disabled students. Additionally, Martha Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.6 to 10.8 over the past few years, and its spending per student of $13,497 in the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the spending levels of several nearby schools.

While Martha Elementary School outperforms many of the nearby schools, such as Hite Saunders Elementary and Davis Creek Elementary, in academic metrics, the school's 5th-grade Mathematics and Science proficiency rates, while still above state and district averages, are lower than its 3rd and 4th-grade performance. This could indicate a need to focus on strengthening the curriculum and instruction in these grade levels and subject areas. Overall, Martha Elementary School appears to be a high-performing school that is effectively serving its students, and it could serve as a model for other schools in the district and state.
