While the middle school, Mattanawcook Junior High School, consistently performs well, the elementary school, Ella P Burr School, and the high school, Mattanawcook Academy, show room for improvement.

Mattanawcook Junior High School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top half of Maine middle schools with a 3-star rating. Its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science exceed the district and state averages, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5.
