Mill Pond School has consistently performed well academically, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics compared to the state and district averages.

The school has also shown exceptional performance for certain student subgroups, ranking 67th out of 251 Maine elementary schools for female students, 63rd out of 251 for male students, and 24th out of 248 for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While Mill Pond School has maintained high academic performance, the school has faced challenges with chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 23.4% to 30.3% over the past few years, which is higher than the state and district averages.
