Summary:

The city of Milton, Vermont has only one elementary school, Milton Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its ranking fluctuating between 114 out of 133 schools (1 star) in 2021-2022 to 85 out of 133 schools (2 stars) in 2023-2024. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 87 out of 137 Vermont elementary schools and was rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Academically, Milton Elementary School lags behind the statewide averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 48.39% of 3rd-grade students and 53.57% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the statewide average of 61% for 4th grade. In Mathematics, only 29.03% of 3rd-grade students and 22.62% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to the statewide average of 34.25% for 4th grade. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.4% in the 2022-2023 school year may also be a contributing factor to its academic performance.

Additionally, the Milton School District faces socioeconomic challenges, with 46.56% of students at Milton Elementary School eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's per-student spending of $12,643 in the 2018-2019 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 12.5 to 1 in the 2024-2025 school year suggest that the school has access to reasonable resources, but these resources may not be fully translating into strong student outcomes.
