Farmville Central High has faced some academic challenges, with test scores generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 37.5% in Biology, 51.9% in English II, 29% in Math I, and 37.3% in Math III, compared to the district's 50.9%, 58.7%, 34.5%, and 69.3%, respectively.
