Over the past 10 years, West Vigo High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 165 and 316 out of 380-400 Indiana high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied between 1 and 3 stars. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students generally outperforming male students, and White students performing better than Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students. West Vigo High School's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 74.8% to 88.4% in recent years, with an overall declining trend, and the school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 33.9%.

However, the school's performance is better than that of Booker T. Washington Alt School, another school in the district.
