The school's graduation rate has ranged from 86.5% to 98.2% over the past few years, but its dropout rate has also been relatively high, ranging from 1.7% to 8.1%. Additionally, West Greene High School has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.6% to 20.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to other high schools in the Greene County district, North Greene High School and Chuckey Doak High School both outperformed West Greene High School on most TNReady assessments. Despite a steady increase in per-student spending, from $9,026 in 2021-2022 to $11,946 in 2023-2024, the school's academic outcomes have not significantly improved. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.4 to 13.5 over the past few years, may also be a contributing factor to its academic challenges.
