The school is part of the Floyd County school district, which is ranked 111 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Betsy Layne High School's performance, as measured by its statewide SchoolDigger ranking, has declined over the past few years, dropping from 129th out of 271 Kentucky high schools in 2021-2022 to 222nd out of 290 schools in 2023-2024. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Floyd County and Kentucky state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly low proficiency rates in ACT/Mathematics (11%) and KSA/Mathematics (24%). However, the school's proficiency rates in KSA/Reading (41%) and KSA/Editing and Mechanics (34%) were closer to the state averages.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (74.2%) at Betsy Layne High School indicates that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance. Despite the relatively high per-student spending ($13,148) and a student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1, the school's academic performance still lags behind state averages, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and student support, may need to be addressed to improve student outcomes.
