Summary

Mila Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Merritt Island, Florida, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 431. The school is part of the Brevard District, which is ranked 23 out of 67 districts in Florida and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Mila Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.5% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the Brevard District and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Mila's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 30%, compared to 60% for the Brevard District and 55% for the state. Additionally, Mila Elementary School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.49% to 70.77% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Mila Elementary School to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes evident that Mila is underperforming. For instance, Robert L. Stevenson Elementary School, located just a few miles away, consistently outperforms Mila in test scores, with proficiency rates that are 30-60 percentage points higher across various subjects and grade levels. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the high proportion of economically disadvantaged students at Mila Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, and addressing these issues could be a key focus for the school.
