The school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.4% to 26.9% in recent years, which is notably higher than the state average. Weeping Water High School's ACT proficiency rates have been mixed, with some subject areas performing above the state average (e.g., 52% proficient in English Language Arts in 2023-2024) and others below (e.g., 40% proficient in Science in 2023-2024).

The school's performance has been inconsistent over the years, and there are potential equity issues among student subgroups that the school may need to address.
