Summary:
Milton has one listed school, Milton Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 6 in Trimble County. The school’s reported 2025–2026 proficiency results are below the matching state results in all nine available grade-and-subject comparisons; its simple average across those results was 26%, compared with 44% statewide, an 18-point gap. The most important finding is that the shortfall spans every reported subject and grade, rather than appearing in just one area.
There is no other listed Milton school to compare, so Milton Elementary is the only school in the area’s results—not a leader or a laggard relative to local schools. Its largest reported state gap was grade 5 Math, where 14% were proficient versus 43% statewide, 29 points lower; grade 5 Social Studies was also weak at 14% versus 38%, a 24-point gap. The closest results to the state were still below it: grade 6 Math was 32% versus 42%, and grade 5 Editing and Mechanics was 37% versus 48%, each 10 or 11 points lower. Milton did exceed district results in several comparisons, including grade 5 Math (14% versus 8%) and grade 4 Reading (27% versus 20%), and matched the district in grade 6 Math at 32%.
Comparable results show small gains, not a major shift: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, grade 4 Reading rose from 26% to 27% and grade 4 Science from 16% to 19%, while grade 5 Math stayed at 14%. SchoolDigger ranked Milton Elementary 621st of 684 schools in 2025–2026, up 50 places from the prior year’s 671st of 685; it received 0 stars in each of the three listed years. Attendance is a relative bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 17%, compared with 25% in the district and 24% statewide. As context, in 2024–2025, 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student–teacher ratio was 18.4. Because Milton is the only school listed, these figures cannot show differences among local schools.
