Summary:
The Milford Area PSD 124 district in Illinois serves students from elementary through high school, with 2 schools in the district - Milford Grade School West Campus and Milford High School Campus. While the high school performs relatively well, with a 3-star rating and strong college readiness metrics, the elementary school struggles with proficiency rates below state averages, particularly in math.
Milford High School Campus stands out with a 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%. The school also performs better than the state average on ACT/PreACT assessments, especially in English Language Arts. In contrast, Milford Grade School West Campus has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% and significantly lower proficiency rates on the IAR assessments compared to state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
Both schools in the Milford Area PSD 124 district have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, around 61%, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges. The district may want to investigate the reasons behind the disparities in academic performance and resource allocation between the elementary and high school to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
