Indiana Gateway Alternative School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Indiana high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor overall performance. Proficiency rates on standardized tests like ILEARN and SAT are significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 16.67% of students were proficient in ILEARN/Biology, compared to 26.81% for the district. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 87.2% in 2022-2023 to 58.4% in 2023-2024, which is well below the state average. Additionally, Indiana Gateway Alternative School has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 68.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, Clarksville Senior High School, the closest school to Indiana Gateway Alternative School, performs significantly better across various metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. Other nearby schools, such as William W. Borden High School and Lanesville Junior-Senior High School, which are in different districts, also outperform Indiana Gateway Alternative School by a wide margin. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the high chronic absenteeism rates may be significant factors contributing to the school's poor academic performance and low graduation rates.
