William Monroe High has maintained relatively strong four-year graduation rates, ranging from 91.9% to 96.8% in recent years, which is generally higher than the state average. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 26.4%, significantly above the state average. Its performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests has been mixed, with the school excelling in some subject areas like Algebra II and Earth Science, but underperforming in others like Geometry, Algebra I, and English Reading, often below the state average. Compared to nearby schools like Orange County High and East Rockingham High, William Monroe High generally performs on par or slightly below average.

A significant portion of William Monroe High's student population, ranging from 33.61% to 67.29%, comes from low-income families, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch program participation rates. The school's spending per student, ranging from $6,864 to $7,186 in recent years, is lower than the state average and some of the nearby schools, such as Charlottesville High and Albemarle High. While the school's student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.5 to 15.3, is relatively low compared to the nearby schools, addressing the challenges of high chronic absenteeism and uneven academic performance could help William Monroe High improve its educational outcomes and better serve its student population.
