Armstrong High School has shown inconsistent academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 167 to 534 out of Illinois high schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 265 out of 698 Illinois high schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, its performance on standardized tests, such as the ACT and SAT, is generally below the state average. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 23.8% of students were proficient or better in ACT Mathematics, compared to the state average of 39.3%. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with female students performing better than male students.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Danville High School, Hoopeston Area High School, and St. Joseph-Ogden High School, Armstrong High School generally performs worse academically. These nearby schools have higher rankings, better test scores, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. While Armstrong High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its high spending per student does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.
