Garrett Morgan School of Leadership and Innovation has a statewide ranking of 714 out of 855 Ohio high schools and a 1-star rating, indicating it is performing below the state average. However, the school's performance varies among different student subgroups. For example, the school ranks 223 out of 328 Ohio high schools for African American students, which is the highest ranking among the subgroups. The school also performs better for White students and English Language Learners compared to the overall school ranking. Despite these variations, the school's four-year graduation rate has been steadily improving, reaching 83.0% in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools, Garrett Morgan School of Leadership and Innovation performs better than some, such as Lincoln West School Of Global Studies and Lincoln West School of Science & Health, but lags behind others, like Cleveland High School for the Digital Arts and Davis Aerospace & Maritime High School. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 79.3% in 2024-2025 is a significant concern and likely contributes to its overall academic performance, which is generally lower than the Cleveland Municipal and Ohio state averages across various subject areas and grade levels.
