Mt Desert Elementary School is a consistently high-performing institution, ranking among the top elementary schools in Maine. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 31 out of 288 elementary schools, and in previous years, it has ranked 12 out of 290 in 2022-2023 and 6 out of 228 in 2020-2021. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than the state averages.

One of the standout features of Mt Desert Elementary School is its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 7.6, which is much lower than the typical ratio in many schools. This likely contributes to the school's academic success and its ability to provide individualized attention and support to its students. While the school's performance is impressive, the relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% may be an area of concern that the school and district should address.
