The school's performance varies among different student subgroups, with the school ranking 46th out of 223 high schools for female students in 2022-2023 (4-star rating) but only 168th out of 220 high schools in 2021-2022 (1-star rating).

Allegro Charter School of Music's graduation rate has improved, from 83.8% in 2022-2023 to 90.9% in 2023-2024, and its dropout rate has decreased from 2.4% to 0.0% during the same period.

Allegro Charter School of Music's performance lags significantly behind two nearby high-performing magnet schools, Charleston School of the Arts and Academic Magnet High, which consistently rank among the top high schools in the state. However, Allegro Charter School of Music's performance is significantly better than that of North Charleston High, a traditional public high school in the same district. The school's high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 21.5% to 40.1%, are a significant concern and may be contributing to its overall academic performance.
