The school is part of the Township High School District 113, which is ranked 25th out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Highland Park High School has consistently been ranked among the top high schools in Illinois, currently ranking 40th out of 698 Illinois high schools.

Highland Park High School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state averages in standardized test scores. In the 2024-2025 school year, 68% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.7%, and 67.5% were proficient or better in ACT/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 39.3%.

While Highland Park High School is a high-performing school, it is not the top-ranked school in the region when compared to other nearby high-performing schools, such as Glenbrook South High School, Adlai E. Stevenson High School, Glenbrook North High School, Lake Forest High School, and Deerfield High School. Additionally, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20% to 26% in recent years, suggest that addressing student attendance may be an area for improvement.
