Tioga High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of California high schools, with its statewide ranking ranging from 898 to 1716 over the past several years. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas. Additionally, Tioga High has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 11.8% to 27.8%, and struggles with chronic absenteeism, with rates as high as 86.4% in the 2021-2022 school year. The school's four-year graduation rates have also shown a concerning decline, from 88.2% in 2020-2021 to 61.1% in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby high schools, such as Don Pedro High, Tioga High performs significantly worse across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. For example, Don Pedro High had a 76.5% four-year graduation rate in 2022-2023, compared to Tioga High's 61.1%. Tioga High's small student population and relatively low student-to-teacher ratio suggest that the school may have access to more individualized attention and resources, but this does not appear to translate into improved academic outcomes for the students, particularly for specific subgroups like male and white students.
