Boonville High consistently ranks among the top 100-150 high schools in Missouri, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in most years. The school's performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams is generally above the state average, particularly in Algebra II (90.4% proficient or better) and English II (57% proficient or better). However, the school's performance on Algebra I and Biology I EOC exams is below the state average, indicating a potential area for improvement. Boonville High maintains a high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 89.5% to 99.2% over the past few years, which is above the state average, and a low dropout rate of 1.4% in the 2021-2022 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, Boonville High generally outperforms Tipton High and Fayette High in academic metrics, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance. However, the smaller rural schools of Prairie Home High and Bunceton High have some notable strengths, such as high graduation rates and low student-teacher ratios, despite their lower overall rankings. The nearby New Franklin Middle-High School struggles with lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism compared to Boonville High.
