Inola Elementary School stands out for its diverse student population, with a significant Native American enrollment of around 25% in recent years, higher than nearby schools that tend to have a larger white student majority. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, while others lag behind. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency was 38% in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 34%, but 5th grade math proficiency was only 26%, slightly below the state's 27%.

Inola Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 3 stars in 2020-2021 to only 1 star in the most recent year, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. However, the school's Native American students and low-socioeconomic status students perform better than the school's overall performance, ranking 42nd and 231st out of Oklahoma elementary schools, respectively, in 2020-2021. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($7,004 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby schools, which range from $7,592 to $10,378 per student, which may be a contributing factor to the school's relatively lower performance.
