Summary:
The Milan Community Schools district in Indiana is home to two middle schools: Milan Middle School and Milan Intermediate School. While both schools face challenges, the data reveals some notable differences in their academic performance and school environment.
Milan Intermediate School, which serves grades 5-6, appears to be outperforming Milan Middle School (grades 7-8) in certain areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, Milan Intermediate School had a significantly higher proficiency rate in Math at 44.44%, compared to only 21.71% at Milan Middle School. However, Milan Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 244 out of 489 Indiana middle schools in 2022-2023 to 300 out of 480 in 2024-2025.
Both schools have relatively high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Additionally, both schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is higher than the state average. While Milan Middle School has a higher per-student spending of $12,462 in 2023-2024, it also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 15.7, compared to 11.7 at Milan Intermediate School. These factors may contribute to the differences in academic performance between the two schools and warrant further investigation to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Milan Community Schools district.
