Wilmington High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, typically between the 500-600 range out of around 800-900 schools.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Fairfield Local High School, Lynchburg-Clay High School, and Little Miami High School, Wilmington High School's performance is generally lower, with those schools having higher rankings and better academic outcomes.
