White Sulphur Elementary's test scores in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are generally below the Greenbrier County Schools district and West Virginia state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 40.9% compared to the district's 51.2% and the state's 53%. The school's statewide ranking has also dropped over the past few years, from 237 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 272 out of 355 in 2024-2025, suggesting a potential decline in performance relative to other schools in the state.

While the school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $12,420, which is above the national average, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.4 is slightly lower than the national average, the school's test scores show inconsistent performance, with some grades performing better than others. This could indicate a need for more targeted interventions or curriculum improvements to address the school's declining performance compared to the district and state averages.
