Milan Elementary

Summary:

Milan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Milan, New Mexico, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 436 students. The school is part of the Grants school district, which is ranked 82 out of 119 districts in New Mexico and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milan Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Milan Elementary's proficiency rates were 33% in ELA, 13% in Mathematics, and 17% in Science, while the state averages were 39%, 25%, and 36%, respectively. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 165 out of 396 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 317 out of 433 in 2023-2024. Compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Bluewater Elementary, which had significantly higher proficiency rates, Milan Elementary generally performs worse.

Milan Elementary has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years. The school has a diverse student population, with a significant proportion of Hispanic and Native American students. However, these subgroups have struggled academically, with lower proficiency rates compared to their peers statewide. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 15.5, does not seem to be positively correlated with its academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just staffing may be contributing to the challenges faced by the school.

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.
