The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Susie E. Tolbert Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 1,381 and 2,243 out of around 2,200 schools.

The school faces significant challenges, including extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 76.0% over the past few years, well above the district and state averages. Academically, Susie E. Tolbert students perform well below their peers across the district and state in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in 2024-2025, only 11-24% of Susie E. Tolbert students were proficient in these subjects, compared to 49-63% at the district and state levels. The school also has very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 83.97% to 90.98% over the past few years.

While Susie E. Tolbert's performance is consistently among the lowest in the state, the nearby George Washington Carver Elementary and Andrew A. Robinson Elementary schools, while also struggling, generally outperform Susie E. Tolbert across academic metrics. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism and targeting support for its high-need student population will be crucial to improving outcomes at Susie E. Tolbert Elementary.
