Garrett Morgan School of Engineering & Innovation has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Ohio high schools over the past 10 years, placing it in the bottom 25% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for female, male, and low socioeconomic status students, but it performs better for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the middle 50% of Ohio high schools for these subgroups. The school's four-year graduation rate ranges from 74.4% to 78.8%, slightly below the state average, and it has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 51.5% to 68.4% in recent years, significantly higher than state and district averages.

While Garrett Morgan School of Engineering & Innovation performs better than some nearby high schools in the Cleveland Municipal district, such as Lincoln West School Of Global Studies and Lincoln West School of Science & Health, it lags behind schools like Cleveland High School for the Digital Arts and Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School, which have higher test scores and graduation rates. The school's specialized focus on engineering and innovation could be an asset, but it needs to address its core academic weaknesses to improve student outcomes.
