Best Public Schools in Zip Code 46542

Summary:

The 46542 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Milford Elementary School, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 449 students. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by ILEARN test scores, is generally below the Wawasee Community School Corporation and Indiana state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

Milford Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 5th and 6th-grade ELA and Math. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 12.7%, which is above the state's target of 10% or less. Despite having a relatively low-income student population, with 57.46% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school's spending per student is in line with the district average, and its student-teacher ratio is within a reasonable range.

The data analysis suggests that Milford Elementary School is not a standout school in the region, and its declining performance over the past three years, as measured by its statewide SchoolDigger ranking, is a cause for concern. While the school's diverse student population does not indicate significant achievement gaps between different racial/ethnic groups, the overall academic performance data points to the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Milford Elementary School.
