While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention, its academic performance is significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.37% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of over 40% for grades 3-6, and the school's math proficiency rate was 31.91%, well below the state average of around 50%. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.0% in the 2022-2023 school year, which likely contributes to the low academic performance.

The student population at PLA at George H Fisher School 93 is predominantly African American (69.92%) and Hispanic (22.49%), with a large majority (70.46%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $16,917 in the 2021-2022 school year, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to support student learning and achievement.
