The school's performance on state assessments, such as the Milestones Assessment, is generally below the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Additionally, Blythe Elementary School has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 97.95% in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's relatively low statewide ranking and below-average test scores, combined with the high poverty rates, suggest that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating resources and supporting student learning. However, this data provides an opportunity to identify areas for improvement and implement targeted strategies to support student achievement and overall school performance.
