The school has 1,092 students and has been consistently ranked in the top half of New York high schools over the past decade, typically ranking between 300-500 out of over 1,200 high schools statewide.

Mineola High School students generally perform above the state average on Regents exams, with particularly strong results in Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and Global History and Geography.
