While the school's academic performance is generally lower than the district and state averages, it does show some strengths, particularly in 5th grade subjects. However, the school faces challenges related to its predominantly low-income and African American student population.

Academically, Long Creek Attendance Center's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are mixed, with some grades performing better than the district and state, while others lag behind. The school shines in 5th grade, where it exceeds the district and state averages in ELA, Mathematics, and Science. However, 6th grade proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (100%) suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the academic challenges faced by the school.

Despite the academic challenges, Long Creek Attendance Center benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 students per teacher, which can be advantageous for student learning and engagement. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($9,791) is higher than the national average, indicating a focus on providing additional resources and support to the students. However, the school's racial composition, with an overwhelming majority of African American students (92.24%), highlights the need to address potential disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes for minority students in the area.
