While the school performs relatively better among its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, it struggles with its White and Gifted and Talented student populations. The school's four-year graduation rate has been improving, increasing from 74.4% to 92.9% in recent years, but it still lags behind the state average. Additionally, Rhodes College and Career Academy has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 51.5% to 80.5%, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Academically, the school's performance on Ohio state tests is generally below the state and district averages across all subject areas, with particularly low proficiency rates in mathematics.

Interestingly, Rhodes College and Career Academy is located in close proximity to several other public high schools, including Lincoln West School Of Global Studies, Lincoln West School of Science & Health, and Facing History High School@Charles Mooney, which generally perform at a similar or slightly higher level. In contrast, Parma Virtual Learning Academy, a public virtual high school located about 2.5 miles away, has significantly outperformed Rhodes College and Career Academy, and Brooklyn High School, located about 1.5 miles away, has consistently outperformed the school across various metrics.
