Summary:
The 66514 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Milford Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 91 students. Milford Elementary is part of the Geary County Schools district, which is ranked 105 out of 266 districts in Kansas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Milford Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally lower than the Geary County Schools district and the state of Kansas averages, with some exceptions. In 2023-2024, Milford Elementary's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate (46.15%) is higher than the district (46.79%) and state (43.34%) averages, and its 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate (55%) is also higher than the district (53.07%) and state (50.23%) averages. However, the school's Science proficiency rates are lower than the district and state averages.
Despite the lower academic performance, Milford Elementary appears to have relatively strong resources, with higher per-student spending ($14,045) than the national average and a low student-teacher ratio of 12.2 to 1. However, the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as 45.05% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. This could be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges, as research has shown that students from low-income families often face additional barriers to academic success.
