While Mt Blue Middle School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 48th to 78th out of Maine's middle schools, its performance has generally been better than nearby schools like T.W. Kelly Dirigo Middle School (ranked 85th, 0 stars) and Spruce Mountain Middle School (ranked 80th, 1 star), but lags behind Day Mountain Regional Middle School (ranked 47th, 2 stars). The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have been lower than the state averages, and it has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.9% to 28.6% over the past few years.

Despite these challenges, Mt Blue Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.1 to 13.3 over the past few years, which suggests opportunities for targeted interventions and personalized support to improve student outcomes. The school also serves a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.08% to 52.27%, indicating the need to address socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student learning and achievement.
