Best Public Schools in Milford, KS

Summary:

The city of Milford, Kansas has a single public elementary school, Milford Elementary, which serves grades PK-5. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its overall performance and rankings are not particularly strong compared to other schools in the Geary County Schools district and the state of Kansas.

Milford Elementary has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 249 out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 398 out of 653 in 2023-2024. This decline is reflected in the school's SchoolDigger rating, which has dropped from 3 stars to 2 stars. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the district and state averages, with some exceptions in specific grade levels.

One potential factor contributing to Milford Elementary's challenges is the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (45.05% in 2022-2023), which suggests the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. Understanding the underlying factors behind the school's declining performance and uneven academic outcomes could help identify areas for targeted improvement and support.
