Narangba Valley State High School offers schooling from grade 7 (Grade 8 before 2015) through to 12. The school has had a reasonable amount of academic success, with 71% of students receiving an OP of 1–15 in 2006, one of the highest scores for state schools in the district.

Subjects are offered in a wide range of curriculum areas: Mathematics, English, SOSE, Science, Performing Arts, Life Technology (Home Economics), Design Technology (Manual Arts), ICT and Business, Physical Education, LOTE (Japanese and French) and Visual Arts.

As well as these Academic subjects, the school also has a weekly lesson designed to enhance the life skills of the students, known as SGD (Student Growth and Development). Another of these weekly lessons is VAP (Access to Vocational Pathways). In VAP, Year 10 students have been completing a Certificate I in Work Education, adding points towards their Queensland Certificate of Education. In Years 11 and 12, students complete preparation tests for the Queensland Core Skills Test

Since 2004 the school has offered extension programs in many subjects. Students are given the opportunity to nominate or be selected for the fast-tracked subjects in Year 8. These programs are offered in a number of different areas. They offer the SMA (Science and Maths Academy) for the more academically excelling students, a music academy, and an AFL and netball are being offered as well.

Students who achieve outstanding academic results are selected to take part in these programs. The programs are offered until Year 11, when students are given the opportunity to undertake further courses during their senior years.

Academies are offered in Mathematics, English, Science and SOSE

At the beginning of Year 7, students are asked to audition for either of the three academies: Music, Dance and/or Drama. These students complete work faster than ordinary classes, and their assessment is expected to be of a higher standard. These academies continue until year 10, where students progress to complete their senior studies.

A recent addition to the academy program is Academy Camp and Tour. This involves Academy students preparing and rehearsing a performance, before traveling to a number of local schools and presenting the act.

The Narangba Valley AFL Academy has been successful in numerous endeavours. It was the first AFL academy in the state to have female participants. The grade 8 academy students won the statewide Fast Nines competition in 2005 and the Junior (grade 8 and 9) AFL team won the statewide Lion's Cup for 2006. This feat was also achieved by both the Junior and Senior girls teams in 2006. This great triumph was repeated in 2007 by the junior girls team. The boys' and girls' AFL teams have both completed a trip to Melbourne, in 2007 and 2008 respectively, to compete against local school teams. In 2010 the grade 8 girls won Fast Nines.
