Summary:
The schools in the 63556 zip code, which include Milan Elementary and Milan High, are struggling to meet academic standards and support their students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Both schools perform significantly below state averages in subjects like mathematics and English language arts, with low proficiency rates across multiple grade levels.
Socioeconomic factors appear to be a significant challenge for these schools, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and relatively low spending per student compared to state averages. Despite having relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools in the 63556 zip code have consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri schools, with low SchoolDigger ratings of 1 or 2 stars out of 5. The combination of low academic performance, high rates of economic disadvantage, and consistent low rankings suggests that the schools in this area may be facing significant challenges in providing quality education to their students.
While the schools in the 63556 zip code have diverse student populations, the data indicates that the Milan C-2 district as a whole is struggling to meet the needs of its students. Further investigation into the root causes of these issues and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the educational outcomes in this area.
