Summary

Milan Elementary School is a K–4 school in Milan, Indiana, serving 462 students as part of Milan Community Schools, a district that ranks 185th of 374 Indiana districts (51st percentile, 3 stars), while the school itself ranks 642nd of 1,015 elementary schools in 2025–2026 (37th percentile, 2 stars).

Academically, Milan’s results are uneven. Math is its relative strength: 53.42% of all students were proficient in 2025–2026, above the district’s 42.73% and near the nearby median of 54.72%, and 3rd-grade math was 58.62% versus the state’s 51.9%. However, English language arts (ELA) is the clearest weakness at 24.22% proficient across all grades, below the district’s 31.28% and below every nearby tested school; nearby ELA ranges from 33.98% to 67.98%, with North Dearborn Elementary School at 67.98% and Dillsboro Elementary School at 55.65%. Science is also low at 28.38%, well below the state’s 43.8%, and only Jac-Cen-Del Elementary School was lower nearby at 27.27%. Milan’s 4th graders struggled across all subjects: 28.38% ELA, 47.3% math, and 28.38% science, all below state figures.

Beyond test scores, Milan serves a higher-poverty population than most nearby schools, with 56.71% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, compared with nearby schools ranging from 22.07% to 56.49%; North Dearborn Elementary School was 22.07%, Batesville Intermediate School was 31.02%, and Sunman Elementary School was 34.86%. Chronic absenteeism was 12.9%, the highest among the listed nearby schools (1.8% to 10.2%) though below Indiana’s 16.7%. The student–teacher ratio is 17.2, the highest nearby and up from 15.3 in 2022–2023, while per-student spending was $11,577—mid-pack. Notably, similar-poverty nearby schools achieve much higher proficiency: Dillsboro Elementary School (50.19% free/reduced lunch) has 55.65% ELA, 63.48% math, and 68.75% science, and South Ripley Elementary School (53.01%) has 57.95% ELA, 62.58% math, and 54.49% science. Milan’s rank has been volatile, from the 27th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 37th in 2025–2026, so stabilizing improvement in literacy, science, attendance, and staffing is the key priority.
