Carl J Lamb School

Summary:

Carl J Lamb School is an elementary school located in Springvale, Maine, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 425 students. The school is part of the Sanford Public Schools district, which is ranked 131 out of 177 districts in Maine and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Carl J Lamb School has a higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges. The school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 21.0% to 26.3% over the past three years, which is higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages and the nearby schools, such as Margaret Chase Smith and Sanford Pride Elementary School. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.24% to 55.06% over the past three years, which is higher than the nearby schools.

Despite these challenges, Carl J Lamb School has shown some strengths, particularly in supporting certain student subgroups. In 2018-2019, the school performed particularly well for female students and low socioeconomic status students, ranking 36 out of 153 and 23 out of 82 Maine elementary schools, respectively, in those subgroups. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. Addressing the factors that contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools may be an important focus for the school and Sanford Public Schools district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
