Mission Heights Preparatory High School boasts strong academic performance, with 11th-grade students exceeding the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. The school also maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 88.5% and a low dropout rate of 2.2%.

While Mission Heights Preparatory High School is excelling, the district as a whole has room for improvement to ensure all schools are providing a high-quality education to their students.
