The school's four-year graduation rate is 82.2%, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 19.0%. While the school serves a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, with a 43.84% free and reduced-price lunch rate, it appears to be investing resources in its educational program, which may be contributing to its overall performance.

Overall, Alva High School stands out as a strong performer within its district, with particular strengths in English Language Arts and U.S. History. However, the school's Mathematics scores are an area of concern, and the high percentage of students from low-income families suggests that the school may face additional challenges in supporting student success. Despite these challenges, Alva High School has shown a positive trajectory in its statewide ranking, indicating that it is moving in the right direction.
