Milton-Union Middle School

Summary:

Milton-Union Middle School is a public middle school serving 349 students in grades 6-8 in West Milton, Ohio, which is part of the Milton-Union Exempted Village School District. The school generally performs above the state average on Ohio state tests, particularly in 8th grade Science and Algebra I, where it significantly outperforms the state averages. However, the school faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which has reached as high as 43.8% in recent years, notably higher than the state average and nearby schools.

When compared to neighboring middle schools, Milton-Union Middle School performs on par or slightly better in terms of test scores and state rankings. However, some schools like Tippecanoe Middle School and Brookville Intermediate School consistently outperform Milton-Union across multiple metrics. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, with a decline from a high of 182 out of 1,035 Ohio middle schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 492 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024, suggesting a potential need to address any underlying issues contributing to the school's declining performance.

While the school's overall student population is predominantly White, the available data does not indicate any significant racial achievement gaps. However, the lack of diversity in the student body may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively well for Gifted and Talented students but struggling more with Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students, ranking in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools for these groups.

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.
