Hurricane High has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 88.3% to 92.5% over the past few years, which are above the state average. The school's dropout rates are also relatively low, ranging from 4.9% to 9.8% in recent years, compared to the state average. On the Utah Aspire Plus assessments, Hurricane High's 10th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally higher than the state averages, though they lag behind the Washington District averages. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 17.2% to 25.2% in recent years, which is higher than the state and district averages.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Washington District, Hurricane High generally performs better than the district averages in terms of test scores, but lags behind some of the higher-performing schools like Career Technical High School and Crimson Cliffs Middle. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate and slightly lower spending per student compared to the state average are areas that could be addressed to further improve student outcomes.
