Milton Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Kentucky elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with only 14% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics and 11-26% of students in grades 4-5 achieving proficiency in reading, compared to state averages of 43% and 50%, respectively. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25%, which is likely contributing to its poor academic performance.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $14,142 in 2023-2024, the data suggests that factors beyond just funding may be at play. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 57.66% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as attendance issues and implementing targeted interventions, will be crucial for improving student outcomes at Milton Elementary School.
