Summary

Milan Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Milan, TN, serving 846 students in the Milan Special School District, with a solid 3-star rating and a statewide ranking of 377th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools — a meaningful improvement from 422nd the previous year and a strong recovery from a low point in 2018–2019.

For parents, the headline news is strong academic performance in the core subjects. Milan outperforms both its district and the state in math (54.4% proficient vs. 43.0% statewide) and English language arts (51.9% vs. 40.6%). The school also posts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 8.0%, compared to the 18.3% state average — a number that has improved every year since 2022–2023. Milan is particularly effective with low-income students and African American students, who rank above the school's overall percentile, and it trails only South Gibson County Elementary among nearby schools, outpacing schools in the Jackson-Madison County Schools and Humboldt City Schools districts by wide margins.

The two areas that deserve attention are science and special education. Science proficiency has been declining (50.9% in 2022–2023 to 44.6% in 2025–2026) and now sits below the state average, while the special education subgroup has ranked in the 22nd–30th percentile in recent years. There is also a striking jump between 3rd-grade math (34.8% proficient, below state) and 4th-grade math (71.0%, far above state) that may signal an opportunity to strengthen instruction in earlier grades. With spending near the middle of its peer group ($13,060 per student), Milan is arguably efficient, but the 15–20 point gap with South Gibson County Elementary in every subject suggests there is still room to grow.
