The school is part of the George County School District, which is ranked 35 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lt Taylor Intermediate School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.9 to 14.2 over the past few years, the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.9% to 32.0%, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. The school's performance on the MAAP (Mississippi Academic Assessment Program) tests varies across grade levels and subject areas, with 3rd and 5th-grade ELA and Math scores generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, while the 4th and 6th-grade scores tend to be lower, particularly in Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (98.92% to 100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When compared to the nearby George County Middle School, which is also part of the George County School District, Lt Taylor Intermediate School generally performs better on MAAP tests, particularly in ELA and Science. However, the student-teacher ratio at George County Middle School is slightly higher, at 14.8. Within the George County School District, Lt Taylor Intermediate School's performance on MAAP tests is mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas performing better than the district average, while others lag behind. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and providing more targeted interventions and support for struggling students, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and ELA, could be key focus areas for the school and district to improve overall student outcomes.
