Milford School District

The Milford School District in Delaware serves students from 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's schools vary in their academic performance, with Ross (Lulu M.) Elementary School consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the district and state, while Milford Senior High School and other schools struggle with below-average standardized test scores.

The district's student population is diverse, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students. However, this diversity is not evenly distributed across the schools, and some schools, like Mispillion Elementary, have higher concentrations of minority students. Chronic absenteeism is a concern across the district, with some schools like Milford Senior High School and Mispillion Elementary having high rates of 38.9% and 24.7%, respectively.

The district's overall academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is below the state averages, suggesting that there is room for improvement in the quality of education provided to students. Addressing the factors contributing to the low proficiency rates, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and student support, could be a focus for the district. Additionally, the variation in performance across schools with different student demographics raises questions about equity and the ability of the district to provide a high-quality education to all students, regardless of their background.
