Dakota City Elementary School's academic performance on the NSCAS exams is mixed, with some grades and subjects exceeding the district and state averages, while others fall behind. The school's strongest performance is in 5th-grade Mathematics and Science, where it significantly outperforms the district and So Sioux City Community Schools as well as the state. However, the school faces challenges in other academic areas, potentially related to the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students it serves (67.22% receive free or reduced-price lunch).

These factors may contribute to the school's academic strengths in certain areas, but more work may be needed to address the performance gaps in other subjects and grade levels.
