The school performs well in mathematics, with 3rd and 4th-grade students exceeding both district and state proficiency averages. However, in English Language Arts, 4th and 5th-grade students match the district average but fall slightly below the state average. The school has a high percentage of students (67.29%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the economic challenges, Palisade Attendance Center invests significant resources into its educational program, spending $23,564 per student, which is significantly higher than the national average. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.8, lower than the national average of around 16 students per teacher. These factors may contribute to the school's relatively strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and suggest a focus on providing a high-quality educational experience for its students.
