North Butler Junior/Senior High School has a strong 88.3% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the state average. However, the school faces challenges with a relatively high 21.6% chronic absenteeism rate.

Approximately 28.35% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population from lower-income households.
