Milne Elementary faces significant challenges, consistently performing well below the HISD and Texas state averages on STAAR tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in STAAR Reading for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades at Milne Elementary were 17.95%, 21.13%, and 15.48%, respectively, compared to HISD scores of 44.66%, 46.59%, and 51.32%, and Texas state scores of 48.85%, 50.66%, and 53.96%.

While the nearby Gross Elementary, McNamara Elementary, Foerster Elementary, Bonham Elementary, Valley West Elementary, and Halpin Early Childhood Center generally perform better than Milne Elementary on academic measures, these schools also serve high-poverty student populations, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 93% to 100%.
