Granite Street School consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 67.02% to 80% and 59.04% to 82.11%, respectively. However, the school's performance in Science is more mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 24.39% to 41.38%, which are generally lower than the district and state averages. The school particularly excels in supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 51 out of 248 Maine elementary schools in this category for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 4-star rating.

Despite these strengths, Granite Street School faces some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 20% to 30.8% in recent years, which are higher than the nearby Opal Myrick Elementary School (23.4% in 2023-2024). Additionally, the school's performance for special education students and female students is relatively weaker compared to their peers. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.56% to 62.96%, also indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.
