The data reveals a mix of performance across the schools, with Milan High School standing out as the strongest performer, while the other schools struggle to meet state averages on key assessments.

Milan High School is ranked 157 out of 429 Indiana high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.4% and stronger performance on standardized tests, particularly in Biology and Evidence-based Reading and Writing on the SAT, compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Milan Elementary School struggles with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science, well below the state averages.

The data also reveals significant socioeconomic challenges across the district, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.78% at Milan High School to 59.01% at Milan Intermediate School. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are high across the district, ranging from 17.8% at the elementary, middle, and intermediate schools to 17.8% at the high school. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation to ensure more equitable distribution of funding and staffing.
