Summary:
The city of Milbridge, Maine is home to a single public elementary school, Milbridge Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 132 students.
Milbridge Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its state-wide ranking, ranging from 73rd out of 258 Maine elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 172nd out of 228 in 2020-2021, and currently ranking 167th out of 290 in 2022-2023. The school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.8% and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 59.09% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.3 is better than the ratio of 1 other elementary school in the same Regional School Unit 37/Maine School Admin District 37, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
Overall, Milbridge Elementary School appears to face some challenges, such as inconsistent academic performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among its student population. However, the school's relatively small student-teacher ratio may be a strength that could be leveraged to support student learning and development.
