Wawasee High School has shown a mixed performance in academic metrics compared to the state and nearby schools. While the school has seen improvements in some areas, such as the percentage of students proficient in ILEARN/Biology and SAT/Evidence-based Reading and Writing, it still lags behind the state and some neighboring schools, like Westview Junior-Senior High School and Fairfield Junior-Senior High School, in other subjects like SAT/Mathematics. The school has performed well for male students and English Language Learners, ranking in the top quartile of Indiana high schools in these categories, but its performance for female students, Hispanic students, and White students has been more average.

Wawasee High School's four-year graduation rate has remained relatively stable, ranging from 85.3% to 88.4% in recent years, which is on par with the state and nearby schools. However, the school has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 17.8% to 36.6%, which is an area of concern as it is higher than the state and some neighboring schools. The school's spending per student has also fluctuated, ranging from $10,217 to $13,840 in recent years, which is generally in line with or slightly higher than the state and nearby schools.
