Tolar Elementary has shown a mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between the top 26% and bottom 36% among Texas elementary schools.

The school has also seen significant disparities in the performance of different student subgroups, with special education students and Hispanic students performing significantly worse than their peers.
