Ripley Elementary School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 9.7% in 2020-2021 to 19.0% in 2024-2025, notably higher than the state average of 10.2%. The school's test scores are generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics at 24% and 28%, respectively, in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 26% for both subjects.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Skyline Elementary and Westwood Elementary in the Stillwater School District, Ripley Elementary's performance lags behind, with lower test scores and a declining statewide ranking. These challenges may be influenced by the high proportion of economically disadvantaged students and the increasing chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Ripley Elementary School.
