The school is part of the Regional School Unit 54/Maine School Administrative District 54, which is ranked 103 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Mill Stream Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 213 out of 290 Maine elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 178 out of 289 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science are below the district and state averages, which could indicate areas for improvement. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes.

However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 may be a strength, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. Furthermore, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (64.09%) suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may require additional resources and support to ensure student success.
