Summary

Milam Elementary is a PK-4 school in Conroe, TX, serving 590 students within the Conroe Independent School District (Isd), where over 82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has experienced a significant and concerning decline in academic performance, dropping from the 74th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 14th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. This places Milam as the lowest-performing among nearby schools, with peers like Runyan Elementary (69th percentile) and Wilkinson Elementary (62nd percentile) performing at much higher levels.

Milam’s STAAR test scores are consistently below district and state averages, with proficiency rates in Reading and Math for 3rd and 4th graders ranging from 30% to 35%—roughly 20-30 percentage points lower than the district average. The school also struggles significantly with its Spanish-language testing, where 0% of 3rd graders were proficient in Reading (Spanish) and only 12.5% in Math (Spanish). Interestingly, the school’s subgroup data shows a stark contrast: while it has historically performed well for English Language Learner and At-Risk students, it is failing its White and Female students, ranking in the 6th percentile for both groups in 2025-2026.

Despite higher per-student spending ($10,202) than several higher-performing peers like Suchma Elementary ($8,562), Milam’s outcomes remain low. A telling comparison is with Hope Elementary, a nearby school serving a similar high-poverty population (83% free/reduced lunch), which has remained relatively stable (47th to 40th percentile) while Milam has declined sharply. This suggests that school-specific factors like leadership or instructional quality may be driving the decline. However, a slight improvement in 4th Grade Math scores (32.79% proficient) offers a small glimmer of hope that recent interventions might be starting to take effect.
