While the school's academic performance on state assessments is generally below the Braxton County Schools district and the state of West Virginia averages, the school's demographics are predominantly white, with very low representation of other racial and ethnic groups.

The school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate of 31.8% is also below the state average of 32.3%.

Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,061, its statewide ranking has declined from 180th out of 375 West Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 303rd out of 368 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 3 stars out of 5 to 1 star out of 5 over the same period. These trends suggest that the school may face challenges in providing effective educational opportunities and improving student outcomes.
