Superior Senior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Nebraska high schools, with rankings ranging from 98 to 185 out of 202-217 schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, with a brief period of 3-star ratings in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. In comparison, the nearby Lawrence/Nelson High School has a higher ranking, ranging from 28 to 198 out of 202-215 schools, and has received 0-4 star ratings from SchoolDigger. Superior Senior High School has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.9% to 29.1% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the 21.1% chronic absenteeism rate reported for Lawrence/Nelson High School.

Despite the relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Superior Senior High School, ranging from 41.6% to 52.31% in recent years, the school has demonstrated strong performance in serving this student population, ranking 3rd out of 82 Nebraska high schools in this category in 2018-2019. However, the school has generally performed below the state average in ACT proficiency in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, suggesting that addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be a key focus area for the school and district to improve overall student outcomes.
