Story Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, with 4th-grade students scoring above the district and state averages in English Language Arts (57.1% proficient or better), Mathematics (71.4% proficient or better), and Science (71.4% proficient or better) in the 2022-2023 school year. This is particularly impressive given the school's small size. Additionally, Story Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, which may contribute to its academic success.

While Story Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (100%) compared to the more diverse racial makeup of the other schools in the district, the nearby Sagebrush Elementary, Highland Park Elementary, and Meadowlark Elementary have also demonstrated high levels of academic achievement, with several of them ranking among the top elementary schools in the state. Story Elementary's success may be attributed to a combination of factors, including effective teaching, targeted interventions, and a supportive district and community.
