The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is significantly below the state average across multiple subjects and grade levels, with only 30.8% of students being proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to the state average of 45.4%. Caruthersville High's performance on Algebra II and Biology I assessments is particularly concerning, with only 12.6% and 11.4% of students, respectively, being proficient or better. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 73.7% and 89.8%, and its dropout rate has ranged from 3.2% to 4.3% in recent years.
