Prairie Heights Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Kansas elementary schools over the past three school years, with a ranking of 158 out of 653 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance on state assessments is notably higher than the county and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for all grades.

In Mathematics, 57.13% of students were proficient or better, compared to 38.5% in the county and 31.6% statewide.

Despite the school's strong academic performance, a relatively high proportion of its students, 64.71%, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant number of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 and per-student spending of $10,763 in the 2018-2019 school year suggest the school is efficiently allocating its resources to support student learning and achievement.
