Sachem High School North consistently ranks in the top 30% of New York high schools, with strong academic performance, particularly on Regents exams.

Its performance on the Regents Geometry exam is especially noteworthy, with proficiency rates around 50-60%, significantly higher than the state average of 23-24%. The school also performs well for its African American and Hispanic student populations, ranking in the top 20-25% of New York high schools for these subgroups.

While Sachem High School North's performance is generally stronger than its counterpart, Sachem High School East, it lags behind some of the top-ranked schools in the region, such as Ward Melville Senior High School and Hauppauge High School. Additionally, the school's higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state and district averages is an area of concern that the school and district may want to address.
