Milan Elementary

Summary:

Milan Elementary is a public elementary school located in Milan, Tennessee that serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 870 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (66.55%), with significant populations of African American (19.08%) and students of two or more races (10.11%). Milan Elementary is part of the Milan District, which is ranked 27th out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milan Elementary has shown strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science. In the 2023-2024 school year, 45.6% of students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 39.7%. In science, 44.1% of students were proficient or better, slightly above the state average of 44%. The school has also performed well across various student subgroups, ranking 217th out of 494 Tennessee elementary schools for African American students, 374th out of 840 for White students, and 375th out of 847 for students of low socioeconomic status. Additionally, Milan Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13:1 to 15.4:1, and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, which may contribute to its academic success.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Thelma Barker Elementary and East Elementary School in the Madison County district, Milan Elementary stands out as a relatively high-performing institution. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, and its special education subgroup has struggled, ranking 425th out of 577 Tennessee elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. As the school's student population becomes more racially diverse, it will be important for Milan Elementary to ensure that all students receive equitable educational opportunities.

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.
