Plainfield East High School has seen fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 100th to 234th out of Illinois high schools and its SchoolDigger rating varying from 1 to 4 stars. The school performs particularly well for its African American and White student populations, ranking in the top 25% and top 30% of Illinois high schools, respectively. However, the school's Asian and Hispanic student populations have struggled, ranking in the bottom 25% and bottom 40% of Illinois high schools. Plainfield East's test scores are generally above the state average, but lag behind the Plainfield School District 202 average in most subject areas.

Compared to nearby schools, Plainfield East High School performs well against its in-district counterpart, Plainfield High School, but falls behind the higher-performing Plainfield North High School in terms of statewide ranking and test scores. When compared to schools outside the Plainfield district, such as Waubonsie Valley High School and Neuqua Valley High School, Plainfield East High School also lags behind in both statewide ranking and academic performance. The school's growing population of students from lower-income households and high chronic absenteeism rates may be contributing factors to its overall academic performance.
