While Upper Scioto Valley High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, there are some bright spots. The school's low-income and disabled students have performed relatively well, with disabled students ranking in the top 20% of Ohio high schools. However, the school struggles in mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the state average. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, ranging from 21.4% to 32.5% in recent years.
