Summary:

The city of Alfred, Maine has a single public elementary school, Alfred Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-5. As the only school in the city, Alfred Elementary provides the primary educational experience for the local community.

Alfred Elementary School has a relatively small enrollment of 201 students, with a student body that is predominantly white (90.55%). The school's academic performance has been variable, with its state-wide ranking fluctuating between 63rd out of 210 elementary schools in 2021-2022 and 118th out of 290 elementary schools in the most recent year. This suggests inconsistent academic outcomes that may warrant further investigation.
