The school is part of the Regional School Unit 17/Maine School Admin District 17, which is ranked 163 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past few years, Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School has experienced a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 28 out of 82 Maine high schools in 2020-2021 to 115 out of 119 in 2024-2025. The school's graduation rate has also decreased, from 87.3% in 2022-2023 to 82.9% in 2023-2024, which is lower than nearby schools like Telstar High School (87.8%) and Leavitt Area High School (87.8%).

Academically, Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its own district in terms of proficiency rates on the Maine Educational Assessment (MEA) for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's socioeconomic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. While nearby schools like Telstar High School and Leavitt Area High School have maintained higher rankings and academic proficiency, Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School faces significant challenges that require attention and improvement efforts from the school and district.

Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School was and is and incredible school. I attended it for my sophomore year when I was younger and some of the teachers that I had made a lasting impression on my life. They work hard to make sure that their students have the best opportunities for success. I will never forget them. I am twenty five now and attending college; I may not have come this far without the understanding and devoted teachers of this school. Close Quote
