Best Public Schools in Milford, IN

Summary:

The city of Milford, Indiana is home to a single school, Milford Elementary School, which serves grades K-8. This combined elementary and middle school faces academic challenges, ranking in the bottom half of Indiana elementary schools and receiving a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milford Elementary has a relatively high percentage of minority students at 14.8% and a large population of economically disadvantaged students, with 57.46% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance is generally below state and district averages, particularly in math and science. However, 3rd-grade students show stronger proficiency, suggesting that earlier interventions may be more effective. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with a rate of 12.7%, which likely contributes to the academic struggles.

Despite the school's challenges, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7 and per-student spending in line with the Wawasee Community School Corp district average. Addressing the root causes of the academic and attendance issues, such as instructional quality and support for disadvantaged students, will be crucial for Milford Elementary to improve outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all its students.
