Summary:
The 60953 zip code area has only one elementary school, Milford Grade School West Campus, which serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Milford Area PSD 124 district. The school has struggled academically, ranking between 1170-1526 out of around 2,000-2,100 Illinois elementary schools over the past 3 years and earning a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Milford Grade School West Campus has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which likely contributes to its low academic performance. The school's proficiency rates in ELA, math, and science are all well below the state averages, ranging from 22.2% to 52.9% in ELA, 16.7% to 41.2% in math, and 30.6% to 32.6% in science. Despite spending $17,428 per student and having a small student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1, the school has not been able to translate these resources into stronger academic outcomes.
With over 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Milford Grade School West Campus serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and finding ways to improve student learning and proficiency in core subjects should be key priorities for the school and district in order to better support the students and community.
