Harrisonville High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from 66th to 191st out of 367-378 Missouri high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 2 to 4 stars out of 5.

Harrisonville High's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 78.5% to 91.0% in recent years, which is generally on par with or slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 1.5% to 3.1%, which is higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Lee's Summit West High and Belton High, Harrisonville High's performance is generally lower, with lower rankings, graduation rates, and test scores. However, Harrisonville High outperforms some smaller, more rural nearby schools like Kingsville High and Midway High in certain metrics. Overall, Harrisonville High has shown a mix of strengths and weaknesses, and addressing its challenges with chronic absenteeism and inconsistent academic performance could help the school improve its overall standing and better serve its diverse student population.
