Milford Area PSD 124

The Milford Area PSD 124 district in Illinois serves students from two schools - Milford Grade School West Campus and Milford High School Campus. While the high school maintains a strong 94.4% four-year graduation rate, the district faces challenges in academic performance, with both schools struggling to meet state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Milford High School Campus is a standout, ranking 226 out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's math proficiency of 20.5% lags behind the state average of 26.1%. In contrast, Milford Grade School West Campus performs well on science assessments, with 57.4% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 53.2%, but struggles with English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.

Both schools face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, with Milford Grade School West Campus at 21.4% and Milford High School Campus at 31.0%, compared to the state average of around 20%. The district's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high-need student population, may contribute to these academic and attendance challenges. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and data-driven strategies could be crucial for the Milford Area PSD 124 district to improve student outcomes.
