Summary

Milroy Elementary School is a small K–6 school in the rural community of Milroy, Indiana, serving 165 students as part of Rush County Schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked 465th of 1,015 Indiana schools, placing it at the 54th percentile with 3 stars — higher than its district, which sits at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars.

Milroy's clearest strengths are math, attendance, and small classes. Its all-grade math proficiency of 55.95% is far above the district's 34.2% and third-highest among nearby schools, behind only North Decatur Elementary School (59.69%) and Greensburg Elementary (57.94%), and well ahead of its own district peers Arlington Elementary School (35.59%) and Rushville Elementary School (29.36%). Chronic absenteeism is 7.5%, less than half the district's 14.3% and the state's 16.7%, and down sharply from 24.5% in 2020–2021. The student–teacher ratio of 9.3 is the second-lowest in the comparison group, and math proficiency has climbed from 33.71% in 2022–2023 to 55.95% now.

The main concern is English/language arts, especially in the upper grades. ELA proficiency is 34.52% — above the district but below Coulston Elementary School, Greensburg, and North Decatur, and it has slipped recently (45.16% in 2023–2024 down to 34.52%). Third grade ELA is strong at 48.28%, but grades 5 and 6 fall to 25% and 22.22%. Science has also declined, from 52.63% to 41.03%. Milroy spends $13,902 per student with very small classes, yet North Decatur and Greensburg post stronger results with larger classes and lower spending — worth noting, since small rural schools often carry fixed costs. With only about 20–30 students per grade, year-to-year swings should be read with caution.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, March 4, 2015

My son is now a 9th grader, but I couldn't have been more pleased with Milroy, the teachers were always more than willing to help myself and my son with anything he might be struggling with weather grades or personal. I find that if a parent and a student are both willing to work with the school and teachers it usually works out better. Also more people are usually willing to complain than complement. Close Quote
