Elementary Schools in Milford Public Schools

Summary:

The Dr. Lewis S. Libby School is the sole elementary school in the Milford Public Schools district, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 281 students. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 187th out of 288 Maine elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 190th out of 289 in 2024-2025. Its performance on state assessments is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics slightly below the district and state averages, but its Science proficiency rate exceeding the district and state averages.

The Dr. Lewis S. Libby School has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1, but it also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 47.33% in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could have implications for the school's resource needs and support services. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% in the 2023-2024 school year is a concerning statistic that could be contributing to the school's academic performance.

While the school faces some challenges, further analysis and targeted interventions could help to improve student outcomes and support the school's long-term success.
