Cleveland High School is a strong-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Alabama high schools over the past 10 years with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school particularly excels for certain student subgroups, ranking 7th out of 142 Alabama high schools for Hispanic students and 36th out of 367 for low socioeconomic status students in the 2024-2025 school year. Cleveland High School also maintains a high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 88.2% to 96.3% over the past few years, which is above the state and district averages. Additionally, the school consistently outperforms the Blount County and Alabama state averages in proficiency rates for the Summative Assessments in Mathematics, Science, and English across various grade levels.

While Cleveland High School outperforms many of the nearby schools, such as West End High School and Holly Pond High School, in terms of statewide ranking, test scores, and graduation rates, there are a few schools in the region that also stand out as well-performing, including Springville High School (ranked 21st in the state) and Oneonta High School (ranked 78th in the state). However, Cleveland High School could potentially focus on addressing its relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 0.7% to 17.9%, to further improve student outcomes.
