Summary:
Miller Township CCSD 210 is a small school district in Illinois that serves the community of Milton Pope, with only one school, Milton Pope Elementary School. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and has a relatively small student population of 197 students.
Milton Pope Elementary School has shown mixed academic performance, with some grade levels performing well above the state average, while others struggle significantly. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (51.6%) and Mathematics (43.5%) for the 2024-2025 school year were slightly below the state averages. However, 4th-grade students performed exceptionally well, with proficiency rates of 81.8% in ELA and 72.7% in Math, surpassing the state averages. Conversely, 7th and 8th-grade students had proficiency rates below 20% in Math, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support.
The school's demographic and socioeconomic factors suggest a relatively affluent student population, with a low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (18.27%) and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14:1. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year is relatively high and may be a contributing factor to the uneven academic performance. Additionally, the school's performance is influenced by the broader district, as Miller Township CCSD 210 is ranked 475 out of 811 districts in Illinois and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting the need for district-level improvements to support the school's progress.
