The school is part of the Jackson Public School District, which is ranked 103 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Isable Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Mississippi elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 329 and 396 out of 377-406 schools.

Isable Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.9% to 31.9% over the past few years, well above the state and district averages. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the MAAP tests, is consistently well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates around 20% or less in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to state averages of 49.4% and 53.3%, respectively. This low performance has resulted in Isable Elementary receiving a 0 or 1 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating, indicating it is one of the lowest-performing schools in the state.

The nearby schools in the Jackson Public School District, such as Marshall Elementary, Galloway Elementary, and Sykes Elementary, also have relatively low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting systemic challenges within the district. The only exception is Barack H.
