The school has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 89.8% to 92.5% over the past few years.

East Hardy High School has outperformed the Hardy County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in several subject areas, including 11th grade English Language Arts, 7th grade English Language Arts, and 8th grade Science. However, the school struggled in 11th grade Mathematics, with only 20% of students proficient or better compared to 9.2% for the district and 20.3% for the state. The lower performance of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and those with special education needs suggests that the school may need to focus more on supporting these vulnerable student populations.
