Gilmanton High stands out for its high graduation rates, ranging from 92.3% to 100% over the past five years, outperforming the state average. However, the school also faces challenges, including a higher rate of chronic absenteeism (12.5% to 29.3%) compared to the state average. Academically, Gilmanton High's test scores in subjects like Social Studies and Science have shown mixed performance, with some years performing better and others performing worse than the state and district averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Cochrane-Fountain City High, Durand Middle/High, and Arcadia High, Gilmanton High's performance is mixed. While it has higher graduation rates and lower dropout rates, its test scores and chronic absenteeism rates are generally worse than the surrounding schools. The small size of Gilmanton High, with only 39 students, may contribute to both advantages and challenges for the school and its students.
