For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 29.29% of Indianola Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40.98% for the district and 48.81% for the state. The school's performance in Mathematics and Science is also low, with only 22.08% and 24.59% of students proficient or better, respectively. Additionally, Indianola Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.9% to 24.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The nearby schools, such as Eric White Elementary, Theodore Roosevelt Elementary, and Woodrow Wilson Elementary, generally perform better than Indianola Elementary in academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates.
