The school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in South Carolina.

McCormick High has struggled academically, with significantly lower proficiency rates on End-of-Course (EOCEP) exams compared to state averages, particularly in core subjects like English and U.S. History. The school's 4-year graduation rate was 85.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, and its dropout rate was 2.3%.
