While female students at the school perform relatively well, ranking 134 out of 251 Maine elementary schools in 2024-2025, the male students rank significantly lower at 224 out of 251, suggesting a concerning gender gap in academic achievement.

The school's small size, with only 56 students, may present unique challenges and opportunities that could impact its overall performance and dynamics.
