Woonsocket High School consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests, with only 34% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in SAT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.6%, and only 9.9% proficient or better in SAT/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 23.3%. The school's four-year graduation rate has been around 70-84% in recent years, which is lower than the state average. Woonsocket High School also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom half of Rhode Island high schools for multiple subgroups.
