Milan Area Schools

The Milan Area Schools district in Michigan consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with some standout institutions like Clayton H Symons Elementary School and Milan High School leading the way.

Clayton H Symons Elementary School stands out with its consistently high academic performance, low chronic absenteeism rate, and strong student-teacher ratio. In contrast, Milan Middle School and Milan High School face challenges, with proficiency rates in some subjects below the state average and high chronic absenteeism rates. The district also has an alternative high school, Milan Alternative Education, which struggles with a low graduation rate and high dropout rate, indicating a need for more targeted support for these students.

Across the district, there are significant disparities in academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation. The district may benefit from identifying and sharing best practices from the higher-performing schools to help improve outcomes at the lower-performing ones. Additionally, addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable access to resources for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, could be important areas of focus for the district.
