Summary:

Milford, Indiana is home to a single school, Milford Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Wawasee Community School Corp district, which is ranked 135 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milford Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, going from 568 out of 1,016 Indiana elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 595 out of 1,010 in 2023-2024, and then improving to 446 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has also improved from 2 stars to 3 stars over this time period. The school's performance on ILEARN assessments is mixed, with strengths in 3rd and 4th grade ELA and Math, but weaknesses in 5th grade and in Science/Social Studies. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is an area of concern.

Despite these challenges, Milford Elementary School appears to be making progress. The school's spending per student of $13,265 is on the higher end, which could indicate a focus on providing a robust educational experience. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.6 to 1 is a positive, as it allows for more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, Milford Elementary School serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, and continued focus on data-driven decision making and targeted interventions could help the school build on its strengths and address its challenges.
