North Duplin Junior Senior High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from a high of 112 out of 514 North Carolina high schools in 2018-2019 to a current ranking of 315 out of 641 high schools in 2024-2025. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and White students generally performing better than African American and English Language Learner students.

The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and relatively low spending per student may be contributing factors to its challenges, but the school's test scores and graduation rates are generally higher than the district and state averages.
