Summary:
The Milford School District in Delaware is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals significant variation in academic performance across these schools, with Ross (Lulu M.) Elementary School consistently outperforming the other Milford elementary schools and the state averages on standardized tests.
Ross Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school, ranking between 41-47 out of 103-109 Delaware elementary schools in the past 3 years. It has the strongest test scores across various subjects and grade levels, with 43.87% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA compared to 30.9% for the Milford School District and 38.72% for the state. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.6 may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, Morris (Evelyn I.) Early Childhood stands out for its high per-student spending of $16,816 and low student-teacher ratio of 12.3, though its academic performance is unclear without state-wide ranking or test score data.
Across the district, all 4 elementary schools had the same chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is an area of concern. The data also reveals significant differences in per-student spending, ranging from $12,151 at Mispillion Elementary to $16,816 at Morris (Evelyn I.) Early Childhood. These insights highlight the need for further analysis to understand the factors contributing to the academic performance disparities and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Milford School District.
