Summary:
ZIP code 45383 in West Milton, Ohio is served by three public schools — one elementary (grades K–5), one middle (grades 6–8), and one high school (grades 9–12) — all in the Milton-Union Exempted Village district, with 1,346 students combined. The district ranks 441st out of 773 Ohio districts, at the 43rd percentile with 2 stars. Enrollment is concentrated at the elementary level (656 students, about 48.7%), followed by the high school (369) and the middle school (321). Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for the elementary and middle schools, so those should be treated as unknown rather than as zero, and spending figures date to 2018–2019.
Milton-Union Elementary School is the clearest standout: it is the only school with a latest 3-star rating, ranks in the 57th percentile (up from 48th the prior year), and posts above-state English Language Arts results in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades (68.7, 64.7, and 73.6 versus state 63.4, 61.8, and 70.4). Its 5th-grade math (52.1 vs. state 59.1) remains weak, though it improved. Milton-Union Middle School has exceptional Algebra I (95.7% proficient vs. state 61.6) and 8th-grade science (74.1 vs. state 61.2), but broad math weakness — 6th grade 41.3, 7th grade 33.7, 8th grade 41.9 — and a weak 6th-grade ELA result (43.3 vs. state 56.0). It slipped to 2 stars and the 44th percentile.
Milton-Union High School reports a strong 97.8% graduation rate and above-state social studies scores (American Government 80.5 vs. state 71.6; American History 79.6 vs. state 73.2), but carries the most urgent warning sign: 30.9% chronic absenteeism, versus 18.9% at the middle school and 14.9% at the elementary. Its Biology, Geometry, and Algebra I results are all below state, and middle-school Algebra I (95.7) far outpaces high-school Algebra I (58.8). One quirk: a 6th-grade math result of 100% is listed at the K–5 elementary school, so read it cautiously. Overall, the elementary is improving while the middle and high schools have slipped.
