Lenwil Elementary School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.9% to 31.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by LEAP test scores, is generally lower than the Ouachita Parish and Louisiana state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Lenwil Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Boley Elementary and Highland Elementary schools within the Ouachita Parish district, which have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall rankings. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80.14% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, likely contributes to its academic challenges. Additionally, Lenwil Elementary School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from a high of 348 out of 739 Louisiana elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 543 out of 666 in 2024-2025.
