Alpac Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some strengths and areas for improvement. The school's overall proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, but there are notable exceptions, such as lower-than-average ELA proficiency in 2023-2024 and significantly higher Math proficiency compared to the district but still lower than the state. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate is also higher than the district but lower than the state. Additionally, Alpac Elementary has a high percentage of students (66.98%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Alpac Elementary School has a diverse student population and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it faces challenges in consistently delivering high-quality instruction across all academic areas. The school's performance often falls short of the state-level averages, suggesting that it may benefit from additional resources, support, or targeted interventions to help improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
