Academically, Limona Elementary consistently outperforms the Hillsborough County and Florida state averages in various assessments, including FAST/English Language Arts, FAST/Math, and Statewide Science/Science.

While Limona Elementary's academic performance remains strong, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 247 out of 2,029 Florida elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 753 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024. Additionally, Limona Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 54.67% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than some nearby schools. These factors suggest the school may face unique challenges in supporting the needs of its diverse student population, and the increase in chronic absenteeism is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and attention.
