While Hamburg Charter High Schools has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.4% to 88.3% over the past few years, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.8% to 23.4% in recent years.

Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages and the scores of the nearby Fremont-Mills Middle And Senior High School and Shenandoah High School.

One potential factor contributing to the school's lower academic performance may be the higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56% to 65.71% in recent years. This is significantly higher than the nearby Fremont-Mills Middle And Senior High School (39.09%) and Shenandoah High School (50.34%). The data suggests that the school may face unique challenges and could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
