While Veazie Community School has a strong academic performance history, its statewide ranking has declined from a high of 4th in 2018-2019 to 89th in 2022-2023, suggesting increased competition or challenges compared to other top-performing schools in the state. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased from 3.4% in 2020-2021 to 16.6% in 2022-2023, which may be an area of concern. However, Veazie Community School generally outperforms the nearby Downeast School, Fairmount School, Vine Street School, and Brewer Community School in academic proficiency, statewide ranking, and student-teacher ratio.
