Milan Elementary's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33%), Mathematics (13%), and Science (17%) all falling below the state averages. The school's performance has also declined over the past three school years, dropping from 3 stars in 2021-2022 to 2 stars in 2022-2023 and 1 star in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a very high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, with 100% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.

While Milan Elementary's student-teacher ratio of 15.5 is slightly lower than the state average, the school's academic struggles suggest the need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and achievement. The school's performance is not only below state averages but also underperforming compared to the Grants school district as a whole, indicating unique challenges that may require a closer examination and the implementation of evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes for its students.
