Summary

Miles Elementary School serves 278 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Erlanger, within the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent district. Its 2025–2026 state test results are mixed: Miles is ahead of the state in reading and four fifth-grade subjects, matches the state in science, and trails in math. The most important finding is that results have improved substantially, lifting the school from below the statewide midpoint to just above it.

Miles’ clearest academic strength is writing: its fifth-grade result was 47%, 12 points above the state and 11 points above the nearby-school average. Its averages were also above district averages in all six subjects. Compared with the state, Miles was ahead by 6 points in social studies and 3 in editing and mechanics, and by 2 in reading; science was even, while math averaged 40% versus 43% statewide. Grade-level results add important detail: third-grade math was 53%, above the nearby average of 39% and higher than at all nearby schools except R C Hinsdale Elementary School, A M Yealey Elementary School, and James A Caywood Elementary School. Fourth-grade reading is a concern: 40%, 10 points below the state and 5 below the nearby average. Fifth-grade reading was stronger at 59%, 8 points above the state.

The improvement spans several subjects: SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 15 in 2023–2024 to 54 in 2025–2026, and its rating rose from 1 star to 3 stars. Among nearby schools with rankings, Miles is tied with Lindeman Elementary School and ranks behind R C Hinsdale and James A Caywood. Context includes a 15.4 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, relatively high among nearby schools, and 90% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was lower than the district and state rates: 13%, compared with 19% and 24%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for White students rose sharply, from 7 in 2023–2024 to 53 in 2025–2026, close to the school’s overall 54th percentile.
