Crawford County High School has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 63rd out of 380 Indiana high schools in 2016-2017 (4-star rating) to 315th out of 431 in 2023-2024 (1-star rating). The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with male students generally performing better than female students. Additionally, the school's performance for White students and students with low socioeconomic status is relatively low compared to the state. Crawford County High School's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 79.2% and 88.4% over the past few years, which is below the state average, and the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.8% to 25.8% in recent years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as West Washington Junior-Senior High School and Corydon Central High School, Crawford County High School performs significantly worse in terms of statewide ranking, academic achievement, and other key metrics. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. The Crawford County Virtual Academy, located just 0.02 miles from the high school, has an even lower statewide ranking and academic performance than the traditional high school, raising questions about the effectiveness of the virtual learning model.
