Scranton High School's academic performance has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past 10 years, ranging from 27th to 220th out of Arkansas high schools. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with some notable exceptions in 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts, Reading, and 7th grade Mathematics. The school's ACT performance is also below the state average, with only 24% of students meeting the Mathematics benchmark and 32% meeting the Science benchmark. Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $10,951, which is above the state average, its academic performance suggests that the allocation and use of resources may be an area for improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Scranton High School generally performs better than lower-performing schools like Western Yell County High School, but lags behind higher-performing schools in the area, such as Lamar High School, Paris High School, and Clarksville High School. The school's higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 43.43% to 53.4%, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.
