While Village Green has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a racial breakdown of 31.96% White, 25.18% African American, 31.25% Hispanic, and 10.18% two or more races, the school faces several challenges. It has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, at 31.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to the St. Lucie district average of 30.5% and the state average. Additionally, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. Village Green also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 78.39% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 40.49% to 76.82%.

The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 596 out of 2,087 Florida elementary schools in 2015-2016 to a ranking of 1,531 out of 2,256 in the 2023-2024 school year. Despite its focus on environmental studies, there is no clear evidence that this has had a significant impact on student outcomes, as the school's performance metrics are similar to other elementary schools in the area.
