Milton Elementary School

Summary:

Milton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 539 students in grades PK-5 in Milton, West Virginia, which is part of the Cabell County Schools district. The student population is predominantly White, making up 94.62% of the school.

While Milton Elementary has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the Cabell County and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 56.6% of 3rd graders at Milton Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 57.1% in Cabell County and 53.2% statewide. The school's ranking among West Virginia elementary schools has fluctuated, ranging from 147th out of 368 schools in 2023-2024 to as low as 371st out of 408 schools in 2014-2015.

Compared to nearby schools in the Cabell County district, such as Village of Barboursville Elementary, Martha Elementary, and Culloden Elementary, Milton Elementary lags behind in academic achievement. This may be influenced by its higher percentage of low-income students (46.62% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and relatively high student-teacher ratio (15.2 to 15.8 students per teacher).

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.
