Elkview Middle School's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high ranking of 37th out of 170 West Virginia middle schools in 2017-2018 to a low of 144th out of 173 in 2014-2015. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 94th out of 168 middle schools, with a 2-star rating. Compared to other middle schools in the district, such as McKinley Middle School and Andrew Jackson Middle School, Elkview Middle School's student performance is generally lower, with proficiency rates below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with some groups, like male students and African American/multi-racial students, performing better than others, such as special education and low socioeconomic status students. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16 to 18.5 students per teacher, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic achievement compared to nearby schools. While Elkview Middle School faces challenges, there may be opportunities to learn from the practices of higher-performing schools in the district and implement targeted interventions to improve overall student outcomes.
