South Iron High has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.8% to 96.4% over the past few years, which is generally higher than the nearby schools like Ellington High School and Arcadia Valley High. However, the school has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 7.5% to 13.2% in recent years, which is higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools. South Iron High's test scores, as measured by the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra I and Mathematics.

South Iron High has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65.36% to 76.22% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The school's spending per student has ranged from $12,086 to $13,705 in recent years, which is generally higher than the nearby schools. Despite the higher spending, South Iron High's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, but it has generally declined, from a high of 121 out of 404 Missouri high schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 289 out of 352 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school may be struggling to keep pace with other high schools in the state.
