The school is part of the Hyde County Schools district, which is ranked 151 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 81.8% to 87.7% over the past few years, which is generally higher than the state average, Mattamuskeet School's test scores, particularly in mathematics and reading, tend to be lower than the state and district averages across most grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 23.1%, compared to the state average of 64.1% and the district average of 38.1%. The school's performance is also generally lower than the state and district in other subjects, such as reading and science.

The school has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 98.11% to 99.05% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the state and national averages, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $17,035, which is higher than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.1 to 10.5 over the past three years, suggesting that the school is receiving additional resources to support its economically disadvantaged student population.
