Milan Middle School

Summary:

Milan Middle School is a public middle school serving 436 students in grades 6-8 in Milan, Michigan, which is part of the Dundee Community Schools district. While the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 84.17% white students, it faces several challenges compared to higher-performing nearby schools.

Milan Middle School's test scores lag behind state averages and those of schools like Slauson Middle School and Saline Middle School. For example, only 47.2% of 6th graders at Milan Middle School were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 63.2% at Slauson Middle School and 70.2% at Saline Middle School. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 54.0% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools.

Additionally, Milan Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 40.37% in 2022-2023, compared to 21.06% at Slauson Middle School and 15.63% at Saline Middle School. This, combined with the school's declining performance over the past few years and significant disparities in achievement between student subgroups, suggests potential equity concerns that the school and Dundee Community Schools district may need to address.

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.
