The school is part of the Regional School Unit 24 district, which is ranked 142 out of 177 districts in the state of Maine and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cave Hill School stands out for having the lowest student-teacher ratio of 6.8 among the 4 elementary schools in the Regional School Unit 24 district, suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. However, the school faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.3% and a significant portion of its student population (37.29%) coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Over the years, Cave Hill School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 173 out of 284 Maine elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 255 out of 290 in 2022-2023. Its overall rating has also decreased from 2 stars to 1 star during this period, indicating a concerning trend in the school's performance. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly white (88.14%), raising questions about equity and access within the school and the broader community.
