The school is part of the Upper Dauphin Area School District, which is ranked 432 out of 606 school districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Upper Dauphin Area High School has a slightly lower four-year graduation rate of 87.9% compared to the state average, it has a lower dropout rate of 1.4%. However, the school's performance on the Keystone Exams is mixed, with proficiency rates below state and district averages in Algebra I, Biology, and Literature. The school's spending per student of $16,957 is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is slightly lower than the state average.

The high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, at 50.15%, indicates that the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Additionally, the fact that the Upper Dauphin Area School District is ranked 432 out of 606 in the state and has a 1-star rating suggests that the district as a whole may be struggling, which could impact the performance of the high school.
