Eldorado High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois high schools, with a ranking between 449 and 596 over the past 10 years. It has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating below-average academic performance compared to other Illinois high schools. The school's performance is particularly low for specific student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Illinois high schools for White students, Special Education students, and Disabled students. Additionally, Eldorado High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 25.4% to 33.9% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Hamilton County Junior/Senior High School, Thompsonville High School, Carrier Mills-Stonefort High School, Norris City-Omaha-Enfield High School, Gallatin High School, and Harrisburg High School, Eldorado High School's performance is generally lower. The school's declining performance over time, along with its high rates of poverty and free/reduced lunch eligibility, suggest that targeted interventions and support systems may be needed to address the challenges facing the school and improve student outcomes.
