Milam Elementary

Summary:

Milam Elementary is a public elementary school in Conroe, Texas, serving 524 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Conroe Independent School District, which is ranked 215 out of 968 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Milam Elementary has shown strengths in supporting certain student subgroups, such as English language learners and students with special needs, its overall performance on STAAR tests has declined in recent years. The school's statewide ranking dropped from 1,172 in 2020-2021 to 2,130 in 2022-2023, and it generally performs below the Conroe ISD average, particularly in reading and mathematics. For example, Milam's 3rd grade reading proficiency rate was 32% in 2022-2023, compared to the district average of 63%. Additionally, the school has significant gaps in performance between different student subgroups, such as male and female students.

Milam Elementary also faces challenges related to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 80% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage may contribute to the school's overall academic challenges. When compared to nearby schools in the Conroe ISD, such as Runyan Elementary and Robert Crippen Elementary, Milam generally performs below the district average on STAAR tests.

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.
