Summary

Milroy Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 151 students in grades K-6 in Milroy, Indiana. The school is part of the Rush County Schools district, which is ranked 194 out of 380 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milroy Elementary generally outperforms the Rush County Schools district in terms of proficiency rates on the ILEARN assessments, with 39.74% of students proficient or better in ELA and 45.45% proficient or better in math, compared to 30.39% and 33.33% for the district, respectively. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, ranking as high as 234 out of 1,046 Indiana elementary schools in 2015-2016 and as low as 577 out of 1,016 in 2020-2021. When compared to nearby schools, such as Arlington Elementary and Rushville Elementary, Milroy performs on par or slightly better, but some schools, like North Decatur Elementary, consistently outperform Milroy across multiple subject areas and grade levels.

One area of concern for Milroy Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.2% to 19.2% in recent years, compared to the district average of around 9-18%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.53% to 62.25% in recent years, suggesting the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges. Addressing attendance issues and providing targeted support for these students could be key focus areas for the school and district moving forward.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, March 4, 2015

My son is now a 9th grader, but I couldn't have been more pleased with Milroy, the teachers were always more than willing to help myself and my son with anything he might be struggling with weather grades or personal. I find that if a parent and a student are both willing to work with the school and teachers it usually works out better. Also more people are usually willing to complain than complement. Close Quote
