Patoka Senior High School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently lower proficiency rates compared to the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, including ACT, PreACT Secure, and SAT assessments. The school's performance is particularly weak in mathematics, with proficiency rates significantly below the state average.
