The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 534 out of 2,123 high schools in 2021-2022 to 885 out of 2,323 high schools in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be struggling to maintain its academic performance compared to other high schools in California.

With 74.97% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Samueli Academy serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present unique challenges and opportunities for the school in terms of supporting student success. The school's small size could allow for more personalized attention and support for students, but it may also limit the range of course offerings and extracurricular activities available to them.
