Milan C-2

The Milan C-2 school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Milan C-2 Elementary and Milan C-2 High School. Both schools are performing below average compared to state-wide metrics, with declining performance over the past few years.

The elementary school's state-wide ranking has fluctuated between 623 and 662 out of 898-908 schools over the past three years, while the high school's ranking has dropped from 261 out of 358 schools in 2020-2021 to 307 out of 378 schools in 2023-2024. Both schools perform significantly below the state average in most subject areas and grade levels, with some exceptions. Additionally, the schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 11.1%, which is higher than the state average.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios, the schools are still underperforming, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized. The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients at both schools, 62.92% at the elementary and 60.27% at the high school, indicate that the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact educational outcomes. Addressing these underlying issues will be crucial for improving the performance of these schools.
