Abraham Unified School District #61, which is ranked 21 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 11th to 29th out of Vermont high schools and its SchoolDigger rating varying from 1 to 4 stars. Compared to nearby schools, Mt. Abraham Union High School generally ranks lower than Harwood Union Middle/High School (ranked 4th-9th) and Champlain Valley Union High School (ranked 1st-5th), but higher than Middlebury Union High School (ranked 4th-14th) and Vergennes Union High School (ranked 5th-10th). The school's performance for special education students and low socioeconomic status students has been relatively strong, ranking 5th-11th and 4th-12th, respectively, among Vermont high schools.

Academically, Mt. Abraham Union High School has seen mixed results, with better performance in English Language Arts than in Mathematics and Science. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also fluctuated significantly, from a low of 3.3% in 2019-2020 to a high of 39.6% in 2020-2021, likely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these challenges, the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state and nearby schools indicate that it may have access to more resources, which could be leveraged to improve student outcomes.
