Dupo High School faces several academic challenges. Its standardized test scores are generally below the state averages, with only 36.2% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.7%, and only 20.7% proficient or better in ACT/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 39.3%. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 80.3% to 89.0%, which is still lower than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as East St. Louis Senior High School and Cahokia High School, Dupo High School generally performs worse academically. However, the school's performance varies among different student subgroups, with the ranking for male students generally higher than for female students, and the ranking for special education students higher than for white students and low-socioeconomic status students. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions, such as improving student engagement and providing additional academic support.
