Milford Borough School District

Milford Borough School District is a small school district in New Jersey that serves the community of Milford with a single elementary school, Milford Public School, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the school has some notable strengths, such as exceptional performance in 3rd grade English Language Arts, it also faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement across all grade levels.

Milford Public School stands out for its strong 3rd grade ELA proficiency, with 90.9% of students performing at or above grade level, far exceeding the state average of 42%. However, the school's performance declines in higher grades, with proficiency rates in 4th grade ELA and 3rd and 4th grade Math ranging from 20% to 54.6%, below the state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.9% is also an area of concern, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning.

Despite these challenges, Milford Public School appears to be investing significant resources into its educational program, with a per-student spending of $21,133 and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 6.5. The school's ranking among New Jersey elementary schools has fluctuated significantly over the years, from 7th out of 1,353 schools in 2017-2018 to 576th out of 1,342 schools in 2022-2023, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and targeted interventions to ensure consistent academic success for all students within the Milford Borough School District.
