The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 669 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 802 out of 1,109 in 2021-2022, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, with 2 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023 and 1 star out of 5 in 2023-2024 and 2021-2022.

Despite the academic challenges, Chase City Elementary has a high percentage of students (88.89%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $10,068, which is likely higher than the state average due to the high proportion of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7 for the 2022-2023 school year may be a strength that could be leveraged to improve academic outcomes for its students.
