Wayne Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, from a high of 71 out of 256 Maine elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a lower ranking of 125 out of 288 in the most recent school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (57.14%) and Mathematics (74.29%) for the 2023-2024 school year were both above the state averages, but the ELA proficiency rate was lower than the district average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern.

Despite the higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate, Wayne Elementary School has a notable strength in its strong Mathematics performance, with a proficiency rate significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's small class size, with a low student-teacher ratio of 6.2, may contribute to a more personalized learning environment for students.
