While Carl J Lamb School has a predominantly White student population (86.82%), it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, going from 174th out of 210 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 188th out of 290 in 2022-2023. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 1 star to 2 stars during this time. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (56.71%) and Mathematics (52.69%) are both below the state averages, though the ELA rate is slightly higher than the Sanford Public Schools district average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Carl J Lamb School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning and support. However, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage of students (48.24%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's declining performance, academic challenges, and high chronic absenteeism rates suggest that it may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to support student success.
