Academically, however, all-grade proficiency trails the state by wide margins: English language arts 15.4% versus 43.8%, math 10% versus 32.9%, and science 12.5% versus 30.6%. The school currently ranks 245th of 271 (10th percentile, 0 stars), down from the 24th percentile with 1 star in 2023–2024.

Riddle Elementary School posts stronger results than the high school in every all-grade subject — ELA 22.9%, math 21.9%, science 16% — though all remain below state averages. Its best showing is 6th-grade math at 29.6%, essentially matching the state's 29.7%, with 6th-grade ELA at 37% versus 41.8%. By contrast, 3rd-grade ELA is under 5% against the state's 41.5%, and chronic absenteeism is 31.1% versus the high school's 13.3%. The school has held steady around the 18th–19th percentile with 1 star. Both schools serve high-poverty populations, with free/reduced lunch near 75%, and small enrollment means grade-level percentages can swing widely.
