Myrtle Beach High has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from a high of 58th out of 227 schools in 2020-2021 to a low of 138th out of 235 schools in 2024-2025. Its current ranking for 2022-2023 is 92nd out of 237 schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school performs particularly well with African American students, ranking 30th out of 194 schools in 2023-2024, but struggles with Hispanic students, ranking 76th out of 121 schools in the same year. Myrtle Beach High has maintained a relatively stable four-year graduation rate, ranging from 81.2% to 86.3% over the past few years, and a low dropout rate between 2.1% and 3.2%.

Myrtle Beach High's performance is generally on par with or slightly below that of nearby schools in the Horry 01 district, such as Socastee High and Carolina Forest High.
