Its English language arts proficiency is 86% versus 43.8% statewide, and its graduation rate is 90.2%. Waldport Middle School has improved dramatically, climbing from the 28th percentile in 2023–2024 to 74th percentile (96th of 371, 4 stars), and it has the lowest chronic absenteeism of the three at 20.5%.

Math is the shared weakness: 25.6% proficient at Crestview Heights and 30.8% at the middle school, both below the state's 32.9%. Chronic absenteeism runs slightly above the state average at Crestview Heights (34.3%) and the high school (33.9%). Per-student spending ranges from $9,100 at the middle school to $27,133 at the high school. Note that the middle school's free/reduced lunch rate is suppressed by the state, and the high school's reported 128.43% is a data error that should be disregarded.
