Summary

Miles Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Erlanger, Kentucky, serving 262 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Erlanger-Elsmere Independent School District, which is ranked 138 out of 157 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Miles Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky elementary schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments (KSA) generally below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics ranged from 27% (3rd grade) to 50% (5th grade), compared to the district's 26%-34% and the state's 43%-44%. In Reading, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 23% (3rd grade) to 56% (5th grade), compared to the district's 32%-45% and the state's 47%-50%. The school has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 16.3% to 28% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby schools in the Erlanger-Elsmere district also perform below the state averages on academic assessments, the nearby schools in the Kenton County and Boone County districts, such as R.C. Hinsdale Elementary and A.M. Yealey Elementary, generally outperform Miles Elementary and the Erlanger-Elsmere district on academic measures. Despite the relatively high spending per student at Miles Elementary, the school's academic performance remains below the state averages, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.

My daughter was having a little trouble adjusting to school yet they seemed to make the transition easy for the both of us. Her father and I really appreciate that.
