This middle school stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Massabesic Middle School has been ranked among the top middle schools in Maine, ranking 25th out of 91 middle schools in the state for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic success may be attributed to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, which allows for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is an area that could be improved, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement.

Additionally, the school serves a diverse population, with 33.7% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school may require additional resources and support to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Overall, Regional School Unit 57/Maine School Admin District 57 is home to a standout middle school that is providing a high-quality education to its students.
