Glenwood Springs High School's performance is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics, with its 11th-grade SAT mathematics proficiency rate at 27% in 2024-2025, compared to 32% for the state and 26% for the district. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 26.8% to 30.7% in recent years, which may be impacting student achievement. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 18.7 to 19.7 over the past few years, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Basalt High School and Roaring Fork High School, Glenwood Springs High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below its counterparts. However, Roaring Fork High School has a higher statewide ranking and rating, as well as better test scores in several areas. Additionally, Yampah Mountain School, a smaller public high school located just 0.84 miles from Glenwood Springs High School, has a lower statewide ranking and test scores compared to Glenwood Springs High School, suggesting that the latter may be serving a more diverse and challenging student population.
