Summary:
ZIP code 61540 has one listed school, Midland Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 4 and enrolling 249 students. With no other schools in the ZIP code, the clearest comparisons are with the state and Midland CUSD 7. In 2025–2026, Midland’s all-grade math proficiency was 45%, above the state’s 40%, while its ELA proficiency was 52%, below the state’s 56%. The most important takeaway is a clear split between stronger-than-state math and below-state ELA.
There is no meaningful local “top” or “bottom” school ranking because Midland is the only school listed. Its math result was 6 percentage points above the state and 4 points above the district; its ELA result was 4 points below the state and 9 points below the district. Grade-level results show an important variation: in grade 3, Midland was 2 points below the state in ELA and 6 points below in math, while grade 4 was 1 point above the state in ELA and 5 points above in math. So grade 4 was stronger relative to the state in both subjects.
Results changed unevenly from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: math fell 11 points, from 56% to 45%, while the state rose 1 point, narrowing Midland’s math advantage from 18 points to 6. ELA rose 1 point, from 52% to 52% after rounding, but the state gained 3 points, leaving Midland 4 points below it. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile also fell from 64 to 43, and its rating moved from 3 stars to 2; these are rankings and ratings, not proficiency scores. Chronic absenteeism was lower than comparison rates in 2025–2026: 11% at Midland, versus 20% districtwide and 24% statewide. The reported free/reduced lunch eligible share was 43% in 2024–2025; a student-teacher ratio was not reported, and one school does not allow a like-for-like local comparison.
