The school is ranked 264 out of 340 Iowa high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while the district is ranked 275 out of 313 districts in Iowa and also has a 1-star rating.

New London Junior-Senior High School's graduation rates have been generally on par with or slightly below the state average in recent years, ranging from 84.8% to 88.3%. However, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 21.6% to 33.7%, which is an area of concern. The school's test scores on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) are mixed, with English Language Arts scores generally below state averages, Mathematics scores varying above and below state averages, and Science scores generally above state averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.26% to 43.1%.

Compared to nearby schools like Mediapolis High School and Danville Junior-Senior High School, New London Junior-Senior High School generally performs below them in terms of state rankings, graduation rates, and test scores. However, it has a lower student-teacher ratio and a higher free/reduced lunch rate, suggesting it may be serving a more disadvantaged student population. Addressing the root causes of the school's performance issues, particularly the high chronic absenteeism, could be a key priority for the New London Community School District.
