The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 294 out of 686 schools in 2023-2024 and 540 out of 634 schools in 2021-2022. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 1 to 3 stars out of 5. In comparison, nearby schools like Austin Area Junior/Senior High School (ranked 177 out of 686 in 2023-2024, 4 stars) and Oswayo Valley Junior/Senior High School (ranked 74 out of 686 in 2023-2024, 4 stars) have consistently higher rankings and ratings.

Port Allegany Junior/Senior High School's proficiency rates on standardized tests are generally lower than the state averages and the nearby schools. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Math (25%) and English Language Arts (40.7%) for all grades were significantly below the state averages (41.7% and 48.5%, respectively). The school also has a higher percentage of low socioeconomic status students (around 80% free/reduced lunch recipients) compared to the nearby schools, which may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. By addressing the socioeconomic factors impacting student performance and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools, Port Allegany can work towards improving academic outcomes and providing a more equitable education for its students.
