Milford Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Cobb County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in 5th grade English Language Arts was 44.2% at Milford, compared to 57.9% in Cobb County and 48.2% statewide. Additionally, Milford Elementary School has a low statewide ranking, placing between 600-1000 out of 1200-1250 Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years, and has consistently been rated 1-3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Milford Elementary School has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 79.54% to 87.6% over the past 3 school years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $12,483 to $14,587 over the past 3 school years, and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the nearby Russell Elementary School, Norton Park Elementary School, and other schools in the Cobb County School District. These factors suggest that resources are being allocated, but the academic outcomes have not yet reflected these investments.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
