Summary:
The city of Milan, Missouri is home to two schools - Milan Elementary and Milan High, both part of the Milan C-2 school district. While the schools serve a diverse student population, with significant Hispanic and African American representation, they have consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Missouri, indicating persistent challenges in academic achievement.
Both Milan Elementary and Milan High have proficiency rates in core subjects like mathematics, science, and English language arts that are significantly lower than the state averages, with some grades performing as much as 25-30 percentage points below the state. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at both schools, the academic performance remains low, suggesting that a more comprehensive approach to school improvement is needed.
Overall, the data paints a picture of schools in Milan, Missouri that are struggling to support their diverse student populations and improve academic outcomes. Targeted interventions, additional resources, and a focus on equity and student-centered learning may be necessary to help these schools better serve the needs of their communities and set students up for long-term success.
