Summary

Milton Elementary is a PK-5 public school in Laredo, TX, serving 651 students in the Laredo Independent School District (Isd), where over 94% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has consistently earned a 3-star rating from Schooldigger and ranks in the 55th percentile statewide, it stands out for its stark contrast with nearby schools—just 0.77 miles away, Ryan Elementary ranks in the 99th percentile, and Heights Elementary (1.75 miles away) ranks in the 94th percentile. This performance gap is especially wide in math: for example, Milton’s 3rd-grade math proficiency is 33.71%, while Ryan Elementary achieves 82.47% and J C Martin Junior Elementary reaches 94.74%.

Despite these challenges, Milton Elementary shows remarkable strength in supporting its most vulnerable students. In 2024-2025, the school ranked in the 83rd percentile for low socio-economic status students and the 79th percentile for English Language Learners, earning 4-star ratings for both groups. This suggests the school has effective programs to help struggling students catch up. However, the school struggles significantly with its Gifted and Talented students, who have ranked in the 26th-29th percentile for three consecutive years, earning a 1-star rating. This indicates that while Milton excels at closing opportunity gaps, it may lack the advanced curriculum needed to challenge its highest-achieving learners.

One bright spot is 5th-grade math, where Milton has consistently outperformed the state average for the last three years, with proficiency rates climbing from 62% in 2022-2023 to 57.32% in 2025-2026. The school’s per-student spending ($10,655) is in the middle of the pack for its district, yet schools with similar or lower spending, like Ryan Elementary ($10,011) and Heights Elementary ($10,010), achieve dramatically better results. This suggests the school’s primary challenge is not financial resources but rather instructional strategies or school culture. For parents, Milton Elementary offers a supportive environment for students who need extra help, but families with advanced learners may want to explore options like Harmony School Of Innovation - Laredo or other nearby schools for more challenging coursework.
