Best Public Schools in Lyman, ME

Summary:

The city of Lyman, Maine is home to a single elementary school, Lyman Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-5. This school stands out within the Regional School Unit 57/Maine School Admin District 57 for its consistently high performance, low student-teacher ratio, and diverse student population.

Lyman Elementary School has maintained a strong state-wide ranking, consistently placing in the top quartile of Maine elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 is a standout metric, suggesting students may benefit from more individualized attention and support. The school's student population is predominantly white (90.08%), but also includes notable percentages of Hispanic (4.55%), Asian (1.65%), African American (0.83%), and multiracial (2.89%) students, contributing to a rich learning environment.

While Lyman Elementary School's performance is impressive, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.0% is a metric to monitor, as high rates can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (25.21%) suggests the school may need to consider the unique needs and challenges faced by students from lower-income households and provide appropriate support and resources to ensure their academic success.
