The school has maintained a high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 96.0% to 97.8% over the past 5 years, and very low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 0.5%. Rider High School's STAAR EOC test scores are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in Biology, English II Reading, and U.S. History. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, ranking highly for Native American students but lower for African American, White, and multi-racial students.

Compared to nearby schools, Hirschi High School and Wichita Falls High School, Rider High School generally outperforms them in terms of test scores and graduation rates. But it lags behind some other nearby schools, such as Holliday High School and Iowa Park High School, which have higher rankings and stronger academic performance. Rider High School's spending per student ($8,943 in 2020-2021) is also lower than the state average, which may contribute to the school's mixed academic performance compared to higher-spending schools in the region.
