Summary:
In zip code 47031, there are two middle schools serving students in grades 5-8: Milan Middle School (grades 7-8) and Milan Intermediate School (grades 5-6). Both schools are part of the Milan Community Schools district, which is ranked 208 out of 380 in Indiana and holds a 2-star rating.
When comparing the two schools, Milan Middle School appears to have an edge in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, particularly in 8th grade, where it surpassed the Indiana average in the 2023-2024 school year. In contrast, Milan Intermediate School demonstrates significantly stronger performance in mathematics across all grades, with higher proficiency rates in both reported school years. This difference in math performance is quite pronounced, with Milan Intermediate School showing more than double the math proficiency of Milan Middle School in the 2024-2025 data.
Several other factors differentiate the schools. Milan Intermediate School has a lower student-teacher ratio (11.7) compared to Milan Middle School (15.7), which could contribute to more individualized student attention. However, Milan Middle School spends considerably more per student ($12,462) than Milan Intermediate School ($9,418). A notable shared concern is the identical chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% for both schools in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a potential district-wide issue that requires attention.
