However, the school's performance metrics are significantly lower than state and district averages. Its test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, are well below the state average, and its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 87.6% and 95.3% in recent years, generally lower than the nearby schools. Glassboro High School also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 6.2% to 16.6% in recent years, compared to the nearby schools.

While Glassboro High School's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, there are some exceptions. For example, Gloucester County Institute of Technology, a vocational-technical school, has significantly higher test scores and graduation rates than Glassboro High School, despite serving a more diverse student population. This suggests that the school model and educational approach may be an important factor in student outcomes. Addressing the challenges faced by Glassboro High School, such as racial disparities, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors, will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on equity and opportunity for all students.
