Furlow Charter School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 84.4% to 85.4% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's test scores on the Milestones Assessment show a mixed performance, with strengths in English Language Arts but weaknesses in Mathematics, Science, and some End-of-Course exams. Additionally, Furlow Charter School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.08% to 65.1% over the past few years, suggesting that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges.

On a positive note, Furlow Charter School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.4 to 13.2 over the past few years, which is lower than the state average. This suggests that the school is able to provide more individualized attention and support to its students, which could be a contributing factor to its relatively high graduation rates.
