The school outperforms the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with 68.42% and 56.14% of students proficient or better, respectively. However, the school has experienced a fluctuating SchoolDigger ranking, dropping from a high of 14 out of 210 Maine elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 104 out of 290 in the current school year, which may indicate changes in the school's performance or the ranking methodology.

While Etna-Dixmont School has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1, it also faces some challenges, such as a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.9% and a high percentage of students (44.57%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. These factors may be areas for the school to focus on improving to ensure continued academic success and support for all students.
