Summary

Milan Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Milan, Michigan, with a student population of 391. The school is part of the Milan Area Schools district, which is ranked 205 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Milan Middle School has some areas of strength, such as its performance in Science and Social Studies, the school faces several challenges. Student performance, as measured by M-Step and PSAT assessments, is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.1-43.4%) and Math (33.3-40.7%) lower than the state averages. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.1% to 32.4%, which are significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 33.49% in 2021-2022 to 43.22% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Comparing Milan Middle School to its higher-performing neighbors, such as Slauson Middle School in Ann Arbor, which consistently outperforms Milan Middle School in student proficiency across all subjects and grade levels, highlights opportunities for improvement. Other nearby schools, such as Tappan Middle School and Scarlett Middle School in Ann Arbor, also demonstrate stronger academic performance compared to Milan Middle School. Despite the higher per-student spending at Milan Middle School, the school's student-teacher ratio has remained relatively high, which may be an area to address.
