The school is part of the Greenwood-Leflore Consolidated School District, which is ranked 126 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Greenwood High School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 42.2% of students proficient or better in Algebra I, 27.6% in English II, 32.3% in Biology, and 59.5% in U.S. History in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 82.9% to 89.4% in recent years, slightly below the state average. Additionally, Greenwood High School has had a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 23.8% to 40.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. These academic and attendance challenges are likely linked to the school's 100% free and reduced-lunch rate, indicating that the student population comes from low-income families.

However, when compared to a school in a different district, such as J.Z. George High School in the Carroll County School District, Greenwood High School's performance is significantly lower, with J.Z. George High School outperforming Greenwood High School on most standardized tests and having a higher graduation rate.
