With 1,057 students, the school consistently ranks in the top 15% of Louisiana elementary schools, outperforming the state and its own district on standardized test scores.

Central Intermediate School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with 82% of students proficient or better in both Mathematics and English Language Arts, compared to 60% and 70% statewide, respectively. The school also excels in serving its diverse student population, ranking in the top 15% of Louisiana elementary schools for African American, Hispanic, and multi-racial students, as well as the top 20% for English Language Learners and students with disabilities.
