Summary:
The city of Milan, Missouri is home to two public schools - Milan C-2 Elementary and Milan C-2 High School, both part of the Milan C-2 school district. Based on the available data, these schools appear to be struggling, with low statewide rankings and ratings of only 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Both Milan C-2 Elementary and Milan C-2 High School have significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, Milan C-2 Elementary's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 30.5% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 41.4%. Additionally, both schools had a chronic absenteeism rate of 11.1% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients at both schools, 74.52% at the elementary school and 68.4% at the high school, suggest that the district serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present additional challenges in terms of academic achievement and resource allocation.
Despite the relatively high spending per student, $11,077 at Milan C-2 Elementary and $12,096 at Milan C-2 High School in 2021-2022, the low academic outcomes raise questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the district. Addressing the root causes of the low performance, such as attendance issues and resource allocation, will be crucial for improving student outcomes in the Milan C-2 school district.
