Rutland Senior High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 10th to 23rd out of Vermont high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied from 3 to 4 stars out of 5. Compared to nearby schools, Rutland Senior High School generally performs better than Fair Haven Union Middle and High School (2-3 stars) and Poultney High School (0-1 star), but lags behind Proctor Junior/Senior High School (4 stars) and Mill River Union High School (1-2 stars). The school has maintained a consistent four-year graduation rate of around 82%, which is on par with the nearby schools.

However, Rutland Senior High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 65.9% in 2018-2019 to 84.5% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the nearby schools. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in VTCAP/Smarter Balanced assessments, has been mixed, with better performance in science but lower proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages. Addressing the chronic absenteeism and targeting interventions to support all student subgroups could help Rutland Senior High School improve its overall performance and provide a more equitable education for its students.
