Milford Public Schools

Milford Public Schools is a small school district in Maine that serves the town of Milford. The district has only one school, Dr. Lewis S. Libby School, which is an elementary school. While the school has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling below the state averages.

Dr. Lewis S. Libby School is ranked 190 out of 289 Maine elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science have all decreased over the past few years, with the ELA rate at 60% in 2024-2025 compared to the state average of 63.84%, the Math rate at 50.62% compared to the state average of 49.38%, and the Science rate at 30.77% compared to the state average of 36.18%.

The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, which can negatively impact student learning and academic progress. However, the school's relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1 suggests it has the potential to provide more individualized attention and support to its students, which could be leveraged to improve academic outcomes. Overall, Milford Public Schools and Dr. Lewis S. Libby School will need to address these areas of concern to ensure the academic success of their students.
