Summary:
The Milton Elementary School is the only elementary school in the Milton School District, serving approximately 237 students in Pre-K through grade 5 in Milton, New Hampshire. With an 11.8:1 student-teacher ratio, the school is relatively small and may offer manageable class sizes. About 41.77% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, an important measure of the economic circumstances within the school community.
For parents, the most encouraging news is that the school improved in every tested subject from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. Mathematics proficiency rose from 23% to 27%, reading increased from 32% to 39%, and science grew from 18% to 25%. Reading is the school’s strongest subject overall, and the school’s 39% reading proficiency rate was close to the district’s 40%. Fourth-grade reading was a particular bright spot at 45%, while fifth-grade reading reached 42%. Mathematics was also stronger than the district average, with 27% proficiency compared with 20% districtwide.
Despite this progress, achievement remains below New Hampshire averages in every tested subject: 27% versus 44% in mathematics, 39% versus 55% in reading, and 25% versus 38% in science. Third-grade reading is a notable concern, with 24% proficiency compared with 51% statewide, while fifth-grade mathematics was the weakest grade-level result at 22%. Science also needs continued attention, especially in fifth grade, where proficiency was 25%. The school ranked in the 9th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, although rankings can change as other schools’ results change. Overall, Milton Elementary shows positive momentum, but parents should expect ongoing improvement efforts focused on early reading, mathematics, and science.
