Summary

Milton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Milton, Kentucky, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 248 students. The school is part of the Trimble County School District, which is ranked 156 out of 157 districts in Kentucky and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milton Elementary School consistently performs below the state and district averages in academic assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 14% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 8% in the Trimble County district and 43% statewide. Similarly, in Reading, only 11% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 13% in the district and 50% statewide. The school also has high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 19.9% to 33.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While the nearby schools, such as Bedford Elementary and Campbellsburg Elementary, also struggle with low academic performance and high rates of economic disadvantage, Milton Elementary School appears to be the lowest-performing school in the immediate vicinity. The high student-teacher ratio, lower spending per student, and the overall low performance of the Trimble County School District may be contributing factors to the challenges faced by Milton Elementary School.
