The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.4% to 32.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and could be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. Compared to nearby schools, Lamoine Consolidated School consistently outperforms Tremont Consolidated School, while Deer Isle-Stonington Elementary School has lower academic proficiency and a lower rating.

Despite these challenges, Tremont Consolidated School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.9 to 7.1 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools. The school also has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may require targeted interventions and support to ensure all students have the resources they need to succeed. Overall, Tremont Consolidated School faces unique challenges, but also has the potential to improve its academic performance and provide a high-quality education for its students.
