The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 81.2% to 90.6%, which is generally lower than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Sheldon High School, which is part of the Eugene School District 4J, Harrisburg High School generally underperforms in academic measures, with lower test scores and graduation rates. Despite relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $17,893 to $21,163, the school's performance lags behind both the state average and nearby schools. Addressing these challenges will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions for struggling students, improving school climate and engagement, and potentially re-evaluating the district's resource allocation and management strategies.
