Academically, McCaskey Campus consistently ranks in the bottom half of Pennsylvania high schools, with only 20.6% to 51.7% of 11th-grade students scoring proficient or better on Keystone Exams in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature.

The school's student population is more diverse, with a higher percentage of students from disadvantaged backgrounds, including 87.62% to 87.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher per-student spending at McCaskey Campus compared to the nearby high-performing schools, the academic outcomes remain significantly lower.
