Loy Norrix High School has consistently ranked in the top half of Michigan high schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. The school performs relatively well for its White and Hispanic student populations, ranking in the top 20-25% of Michigan high schools. However, the school struggles with its African American, Multi-racial, and Special Education student populations, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of Michigan high schools. Academically, the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the Kalamazoo Public Schools district average, but below the state average, with its strongest performance in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT.

Loy Norrix High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 65.8% and 82.8% in recent years, with an overall downward trend, and its dropout rate has ranged from 7.2% to 16.2%. The school also has a significant chronic absenteeism problem, with rates ranging from 29.5% to 50.2% in recent years. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, its academic outcomes and graduation rates suggest that additional resources and support may be needed to improve student performance and outcomes. Compared to nearby schools, Loy Norrix High School's performance is generally stronger than the Kalamazoo Innovative Learning Program and Phoenix Alternative High School, but lags behind the Portage Central and Portage Northern High Schools.
