Skowhegan Area Middle School has consistently maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, indicating above-average performance. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (73.23%) and Science (45.38%) for the 2024-2025 school year are significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While Skowhegan Area Middle School serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 61.52% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school's academic achievements are impressive. The school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9 may contribute to its success, but the higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is a concern that the school may need to address to ensure continued academic growth for all its students.
