Stilwell Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 13% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 15% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.7% to 19% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Stilwell Elementary School has a very high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 84.99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

While Stilwell Elementary School faces significant challenges, it performs poorly compared to nearby schools like Tenkiller Public School and Zion Public School, which have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. The school's ranking among Oklahoma elementary schools has also steadily declined over the years, from 397 out of 840 in 2008-2009 to 529 out of 614 in 2024-2025, indicating a concerning trend. However, the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools suggest that there may be opportunities to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
