Milton Elementary School

Summary:

Milton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Milton, Kentucky, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 209 students. The school is part of the Trimble County School District, which is ranked 158 out of 159 districts in Kentucky and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Milton Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with a ranking of 642 out of 685 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various subjects, is significantly below the state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 29% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 43%. The school's performance in Reading is also concerning, with only 10% of 3rd-grade students and 26% of 4th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 47% and 50%, respectively. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, is consistently lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

In contrast, the nearby LaGrange Elementary School, located in the Oldham County School District, which is ranked 13 out of 159 districts in Kentucky, consistently outperforms Milton Elementary School and the state averages in academic achievement. The school's high percentage of students from low-income families, at 55.02% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can significantly impact student achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
