Summary:
ZIP code 47031 covers Milan, Indiana, where all four public schools — one elementary, two middle-grade schools, and one high school serving grades K–12 — belong to a single district, Milan Community Schools. Together they enroll 1,095 students: Milan Elementary School (K–4, 462 students, 42% of ZIP enrollment), Milan Intermediate School (5–6, 159), Milan Middle School (7–8, 159), and Milan High School (9–12, 315). The district ranks 185th of 374 statewide — 51st percentile, 3 stars, about average for Indiana.
Each school has a distinct profile. Milan High School posts the strongest single figure in the data: a 98.7% graduation rate, 9 points above the state's 89.7%, along with the lowest poverty rate (46.03% free/reduced lunch) and highest per-pupil spending ($13,987). Milan Middle School is the biggest improver, moving from 2 stars to 3 and gaining 6.6 points in ELA and 7.2 in math year over year. Milan Intermediate School has the lowest chronic absenteeism (8.6%) and math above state in grades 5 and 6, but the lowest spending ($9,418). Milan Elementary School is the largest and most strained, with a 17.2 student-teacher ratio versus 12.4–12.9 elsewhere, the lowest percentile rank, and a 29-point gap between math (53.42%) and ELA (24.22%).
Two patterns matter most for families. Attendance is a genuine district-wide strength — every school's chronic absenteeism (8.6%–12.9%) beats the state's 16.7% — and graduation is well above state. Academically, only 4 of 15 grade-level results exceed state, three of them math in grades 3, 5, and 6; ELA lags in grades 3–6 and 8, and math dips sharply in grade 8 (21.74% vs. state 34.2%). Notably, Intermediate and Middle share one building at 609 N Warpath Dr and enroll identical numbers, yet produce very different results and differ by $3,044 per student in spending — a gap worth asking the district about.
