Summary:

The 04461 zip code in Maine is home to a single elementary school, the Dr. Lewis S. Libby School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has a relatively small student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maine elementary schools, with mixed proficiency rates on state assessments.

The Dr. Lewis S. Libby School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts are close to the state and district averages, but its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are significantly lower. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 47.33% in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.

Despite the small class sizes, the school's overall academic performance indicates a need for improvement. Addressing the areas of Mathematics and Science proficiency, as well as supporting the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, could be crucial for enhancing the educational experience and outcomes for the students at the Dr. Lewis S. Libby School within the Milford Public Schools district.
