Academically, New Manchester High School consistently underperforms compared to the Douglas County and Georgia state averages on the Milestones Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the county and state in subjects like American Literature and Composition, Algebra I, and United States History. The school's four-year graduation rate has been around 85-87% in recent years, which is on par with the Douglas County average but slightly lower than the state average.

When comparing New Manchester High School to other high schools in the Douglas County district, it consistently underperforms on academic measures.

Despite the higher spending per student at New Manchester High School, the school's academic outcomes still lag behind the district and state averages, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by the school.
