The school faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.0% and a significant portion of its student population (48.24%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic needs.

However, Carl J Lamb School may have a potential advantage in its low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, which is the lowest among the 3 elementary schools in the Sanford Public Schools district. This could allow for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that the school faces some challenges, but the low student-teacher ratio may be a positive factor in addressing these issues and supporting student success.
