Walled Lake Northern High School boasts impressive academic achievements, with students outperforming the district and state averages on M-STEP and SAT assessments, particularly in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% is above the state average, though the dropout rate of 7.6% is slightly higher. The school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 19.35%, suggests a relatively low level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the school's high student-teacher ratio of 21.8 students per teacher is slightly above the state average, the district's above-average spending of $14,424 per student indicates a commitment to providing quality resources and support for the school's educational programs. The school's one potential area for improvement is its chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is on the higher side and may be an area of focus for the school and district to address.
