Best Public Schools in Milbridge, ME

Summary:

Milbridge, Maine has only one public school serving the community - Milbridge Elementary School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. As the sole school option in the area, Milbridge Elementary faces some challenges, including consistently ranking in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools and having below-average test scores compared to the state.

Milbridge Elementary School has a 2-star rating out of 5 and its district, Regional School Unit 37/Maine School Administrative District 37, is ranked 144 out of 176 districts in the state. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the state average, though higher than its own district average. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is an area that may need to be addressed.

However, Milbridge Elementary does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1 and a high percentage of students (58.54%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a community with significant economic challenges. While the school faces some performance challenges, its small class sizes and the support it provides to economically disadvantaged students may be strengths that could be built upon to improve outcomes for the Milbridge community.
