While Sulphur Intermediate Elementary School has generally lower test scores compared to the state average, especially in mathematics, it performs better in science, with 47% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 33%. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.2% to 19.0% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.09% to 72.33% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, Sulphur Intermediate Elementary School performs similarly to or slightly better than other schools in the Sulphur district, such as Sulphur Elementary School, which serves younger grades.
