Badger Secondary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from a high of 13th out of 492 Minnesota high schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 325th out of 489 in 2016-2017. In the most recent school year, the school ranked 131st out of 450 Minnesota high schools, with a 4-star rating. The school has performed exceptionally well for female students, ranking as high as 7th out of 401 Minnesota high schools, but the performance of male students and white students has been more variable.

Compared to nearby schools, Roseau Secondary and Greenbush-Middle River Secondary, Badger Secondary appears to have some advantages, particularly in terms of its higher statewide ranking and rating, as well as its exceptional performance for specific student groups. However, the school also faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement, especially in certain subject areas. The school's socioeconomic factors and small size may play a role in both its strengths and areas for improvement.
