The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 7th and 8th grades have been mixed, with some years performing above the state average and other years below.

Compared to the nearby Riverside High School and Elba Secondary School, Central Valley High School has a higher per-student spending, lower student-teacher ratio, and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, Riverside High School has outperformed Central Valley High School in some key areas, such as 11th-grade ACT scores. The school's high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio suggest the need for a closer examination of the school's resource allocation, teaching practices, and support systems to address the underlying factors contributing to its performance.
