The school is part of the Regional School Unit 28/Maine School Admin District 28, which is ranked 26th out of 176 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Camden-Rockport Elementary consistently performs very well on state assessments, with 70-90% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly higher than the state averages of around 50-65% proficiency.

While Camden-Rockport outperforms most nearby schools academically and has a relatively low percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at 15-19%, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from around 18-20% in recent years to over 25% in 2022-2023. This appears to be a regional issue, as most nearby schools, such as Ames Elementary School and Cushing Community School, also report high chronic absenteeism rates around 23-25%. The larger size of Camden-Rockport, with 348 students, may provide more resources and opportunities for students compared to the nearby schools ranging from around 75 to 300 students.
