In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 56.76% proficiency in ELA and 78.95% proficiency in Mathematics, outperforming the Bangor Public Schools district (64% in ELA, 56.78% in Mathematics) and the state of Maine (63.84% in ELA, 49.38% in Mathematics). The school's performance has been consistently high, with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger in several recent school years.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is on par with the other schools in the district, indicating a potential area for improvement. Additionally, the school's data shows a notable difference in rankings between female and male students, suggesting that the school may need to examine its instructional practices and support systems to ensure equitable outcomes for all students, regardless of gender.
