The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, currently placing 190th out of 463 Oklahoma high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cushing High School's performance is a mix of strengths and weaknesses. The school has seen a wide range of 4-year graduation rates, from a low of 81.1% in 2022-2023 to a high of 95.4% in the same year. However, it struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.0% to 20.8% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average of 19.4% in 2024-2025. Academically, the school performs better than the state average in 11th grade English Language Arts but lags behind in 11th grade Mathematics and Science. Interestingly, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Cushing High School ranking highly for Native American students but lower for Hispanic and White students.

Compared to nearby schools, Cushing High School generally performs better than Davenport High School and Depew High School, but lags behind Perkins-Tryon High School in several key metrics, such as test scores and graduation rates. By addressing the root causes of the school's high chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to support all students, Cushing High School can work to enhance its overall educational outcomes.
