The school is part of the Knob Noster R-VIII school district, which is ranked 48 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Whiteman A.F.B. Elementary appears to be a standout school, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Missouri elementary schools with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students have demonstrated strong academic performance, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in both Mathematics and English Language Arts compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, the school spends $11,280 per student, which is higher than the state average, indicating a strong investment in the education of its students.

While the school's performance is strong, the slightly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 19.6% may be an area to investigate further. However, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 35.52% and a student-teacher ratio of 18.6 suggest a well-resourced and supportive learning environment that may be contributing to the school's academic success.
