Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Ringgold Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Bienville Parish and Louisiana state averages on LEAP assessments in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Social Studies.

The school's student subgroups, including females, males, African Americans, and economically disadvantaged students, also perform below state and district averages on assessments.
Ringgold Elementary's high poverty rate, ranging from 43.98% in 2021-2022 to 79.17% in 2022-2023, may be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance. In comparison, nearby schools like Haughton Elementary and Elm Grove Elementary, which are in the Bossier Parish School District, have higher proficiency rates, stronger rankings, and lower poverty rates. By addressing the root causes of Ringgold Elementary's academic struggles and implementing effective strategies, the school has the potential to raise student achievement and provide a better educational experience for its students.
