The school is part of the Regional School Unit 17/Maine School Administrative District 17, which is ranked 154 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Guy E Rowe School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates lower than the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.3%, which may be contributing to the academic struggles. Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as a significant portion (57.18%) of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1, which could be a strength, this advantage does not seem to be translating into stronger academic outcomes. The school's student population is also predominantly White, with relatively low representation of other racial/ethnic groups, suggesting a need to address diversity and inclusion within the school community. Overall, the data highlights several areas of concern for Guy E Rowe School, and addressing these issues may require a comprehensive approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders.
