Academically, Kenyon-Wanamingo Senior High has consistently ranked in the middle range of Minnesota high schools, with a ranking between 231 and 290 over the past 5 years. The school's performance on MCA-III tests is below the state average in both math and reading proficiency. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 11th-grade math proficiency was 19.61% compared to the state average of 34.96%. Compared to nearby schools, Kenyon-Wanamingo Senior High performs significantly worse than Northfield Senior High, which ranked 51st in the state and had 48.15% 11th-grade math proficiency, but outperforms Faribault Senior High, which ranked 370th and had only 11.97% 11th-grade math proficiency.

Kenyon-Wanamingo Senior High has had a four-year graduation rate between 83.3% and 90.7% over the past few years, which is generally in line with the state average. However, the school's dropout rate has ranged from 1.8% to 7.4%, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a higher percentage of low-socioeconomic status students (31.12% in 2023-2024) compared to the state average. These factors, combined with the school's consistent underperformance in math and potential equity concerns, suggest the need for the Kenyon-Wanamingo district to closely examine its practices and identify areas for improvement to better support all students.
