Maryvale High School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, and student demographics. The school consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Science, 15% in English Language Arts, and 11% in Mathematics. Maryvale High School also has a lower 4-year graduation rate of 78.4% and a higher dropout rate of 5.2% compared to the district and state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, with 87.98% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Maryvale High School's performance lags behind nearby schools within the same district, such as Alhambra High School and Trevor Browne High School, the challenges faced by the school may be exacerbated by the shift to virtual learning.
