While the schools have seen some improvements in academic performance over time, they continue to face unique challenges that require targeted interventions and support.

Indianola Elementary School has made notable progress, moving from a ranking of 693rd out of 957 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 235th out of 646 in 2020-2021.

Academically, Indianola High School faces challenges, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (10.5%) and Science (15%) significantly below the state average. The schools' diverse student populations, with a significant Native American representation, suggest the need for culturally responsive teaching and support. Despite the challenges, the lower student-teacher ratio at the high school (13.6 students per teacher) compared to the elementary school (17.1 students per teacher) may provide more individualized attention for older students. Overall, the schools in the Indianola district require continued focus and investment to ensure equitable educational outcomes for all students.
