Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 1 to 2 stars out of 5. The school has performed relatively well with African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the top half of Missouri high schools in recent years, but has struggled with its performance for students with disabilities, ranking in the bottom half of the state. Winnetonka High has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.7% to 97.3% in recent years, and a low dropout rate, ranging from 0.3% to 1.6%.

When compared to other high schools in the North Kansas City 74 district, such as Oak Park High and North Kansas City High, Winnetonka High generally performs worse on key metrics such as test scores and statewide rankings.
