Hurley High has shown mixed academic performance compared to the state average, with some subjects performing above the state average and others below. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with some years showing stronger results and others weaker. Hurley High has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.4% to 98.2% in recent years, which are generally on par with or slightly above the state average. However, the school has experienced higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 28.0% in recent years, which is significantly above the state average.

Hurley High has a diverse student population, and the school has performed particularly well for its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 10-15% of Wisconsin high schools in this subgroup for the 2024-2025 and 2023-2024 school years. However, the school's performance for white students has been relatively low, ranking in the bottom 5% of Wisconsin high schools in this subgroup for the 2021-2022 school year. With per-student spending and student-teacher ratios generally in line with state averages, the school's academic performance challenges may not be solely due to resource constraints, suggesting the need to focus on how these resources are being utilized and allocated to support student learning.
