Summary

Milton Elementary is a public elementary school located in Laredo, Texas, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 649 students. It is part of the Laredo Independent School District (ISD), which is ranked 299 out of 961 school districts in Texas and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milton Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools, with a ranking between 1621 and 3834 out of around 4,600 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests is generally below the Laredo ISD and Texas state averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 25% of 3rd graders at Milton Elementary were proficient or better in STAAR Mathematics, compared to 50.75% for Laredo ISD and 44.88% for Texas. However, the school's performance on STAAR Reading is slightly better, with 4th and 5th graders performing closer to the district and state averages.

The nearby schools, such as Heights Elementary, J.C. Martin Junior Elementary, and D.D. Hachar Elementary, generally outperform Milton Elementary on STAAR tests, especially in mathematics and science. These schools have higher rankings from SchoolDigger and serve student populations with similar demographics, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may be contributing to the performance differences. Additionally, Milton Elementary's performance for certain student subgroups, such as special education and gifted and talented students, indicates a need for more targeted interventions and support.
