While Edgar Murray Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.98%) compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages.

However, the school's performance with specific subgroups, such as low-socioeconomic status (SES) and disabled students, is more promising, with the low-SES students ranking 227 out of 611 Missouri elementary schools in 2022-2023, with a 3-star rating.
When comparing Edgar Murray Elementary to nearby schools, such as Sullivan Elementary, which is 13.01 miles away, it becomes evident that the school's academic performance is generally lower. Sullivan Elementary has significantly higher proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts across all grade levels. This trend suggests that Edgar Murray Elementary may be struggling to keep pace with other schools in the area and the state, despite its increasing spending per student, which has risen from $8,065 in 2018-2019 to $9,651 in 2021-2022.
