Gilmer County Elementary School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 165th out of 368 schools in 2023-2024 and 302nd out of 380 schools in 2020-2021. The school's overall SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 3 stars in recent years to 1 star in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. Compared to nearby schools like Sutton Elementary and Smithville Elementary, which consistently rank higher, Gilmer County Elementary School generally performs in the middle range.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students. However, the school's performance for African American, Hispanic, and multi-racial students is limited, making it difficult to draw meaningful comparisons. Additionally, the school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is relatively weaker, with lower rankings in these categories. The school's per-student spending of $12,991 in 2018-2019 is slightly higher than the state average, but lower than some nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio has decreased from 10.7 in 2021-2022 to 9.0 in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively small class size.
