E.C. Glass High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia high schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 196-309 out of 321-329 schools. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as African American and multi-racial students, who rank in the bottom 25% of Virginia high schools. However, Hispanic students at E.C. Glass High perform relatively better, ranking in the top 30% of Virginia high schools in recent years. The school's four-year graduation rate is around 92%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate is around 5-6%, higher than the state average. E.C. Glass High also has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15.7% to 25.7% in recent years, compared to the state average.

When compared to nearby high schools in neighboring districts, such as Appomattox County High, Liberty High, and Amherst County High, E.C. Glass High generally lags behind in student performance, particularly in core subject areas like math and science. The school's high poverty rate, with over 90% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its overall low performance and high chronic absenteeism rate.
