Darlington High's academic strengths include higher-than-average proficiency rates on the Forward Exam/Social Studies, ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science in the 2024-2025 school year.

The school's four-year graduation rate of 91.0% in 2023-2024 is higher than the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is also higher than the state's average.

With a student-teacher ratio of 10.9 and 40.08% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, Darlington High serves a relatively high-need population. The per-student spending for the Darlington Community School District was $15,002 in the 2020-2021 school year. While the data provides some insights into Darlington High's performance, the lack of information on other schools within the district makes it difficult to draw more comprehensive conclusions about how the school is performing relative to its peers.
