With a 96.4% four-year graduation rate and strong performance on standardized tests, Williamstown Senior High is a standout institution that effectively serves its diverse student population, including a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Williamstown Senior High has received high ratings from SchoolDigger, placing 58th out of 290 Kentucky high schools in the 2023-2024 school year and 18th out of 276 schools in 2022-2023. The school's students outperform their peers in the Williamstown Independent district and the state of Kentucky on a variety of assessments, including the ACT and Kentucky State Assessments (KSA). For example, in 2023-2024, 67% of 11th-grade students at Williamstown Senior High were proficient or better in ACT English, compared to 44% statewide.

Despite serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 45.81% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Williamstown Senior High has been able to maintain its high academic standards. This success may be attributed to the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($12,963 in 2018-2019) and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 to 1, which likely contribute to the school's ability to support and uplift its diverse student body.
