The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 197th out of 697 Illinois high schools in 2023-2024 but dropping to 512th out of 699 in 2022-2023.

Bunker Hill High School's strengths include higher-than-average proficiency rates in IAR/English Language Arts and ISA/Science, but it struggles in IAR/Mathematics, where its 8th-grade proficiency rate of 9.1% is significantly lower than the state average of 28.1%. The school has a higher-than-average free and reduced-price lunch rate of 38.89%, suggesting a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, which may be a factor in its academic performance.

Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,504 and lower-than-average student-teacher ratio of 12.1, its overall academic performance appears to be mixed, with areas of strength and weakness. The Bunker Hill CUSD 8 district may need to evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation and implement targeted interventions to address the school's areas of weakness and improve its overall academic outcomes.
