Milford Public Schools in Maine has only one elementary school, the Dr. Lewis S. Libby School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade.

The Dr. Lewis S. Libby School has a predominantly white student population (91.85%), but also serves a relatively diverse student body with representation from African American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American students. However, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.4% and significantly lower academic proficiency rates in MEA/Science (23.64%) compared to the Milford Public Schools district average (27.4%) and the statewide average (36.36%). Additionally, a high percentage of the school's students (42.96%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic outcomes.
Overall, the Dr. Lewis S. Libby School appears to be facing a range of challenges, including declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and serving a population with significant socioeconomic needs. The school's leadership and the Milford Public Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for the students.
