Summary:

Milan Middle School is a public middle school serving 131 students in grades 7-8 in the small town of Milan, Indiana. The school is part of the Milan Community Schools district, which is ranked 232 out of 381 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Milan Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.95%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance lags behind. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 44.97% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district's 31.43% and the state's 41.8%. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuations in chronic absenteeism, ranging from 9.6% to 26.9% over the past few years, which is higher than surrounding schools. Milan Middle School also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.45% to 45.8% over the past three years.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Batesville Middle School, Milan Middle School generally underperforms in terms of test scores, statewide ranking, and other key metrics. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 86 out of 470 Indiana middle schools in 2013-2014 to 265 out of 485 in 2023-2024. These challenges may be attributed to the school's small size, high percentage of students from low-income families, and its rural location, which could limit access to resources and opportunities.

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.
