Summary

Milam Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in Wichita Falls, TX, serving 430 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and it has become a standout performer within the Wichita Falls Independent School District (Isd) after a remarkable three-year turnaround. The school has surged from the 32nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 68th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 3-star rating and consistently outperforming the district average in nearly every subject. For example, in 3rd Grade Math, 58.73% of Milam students are proficient compared to just 36.85% district-wide, and in 4th Grade Math, 60.78% are proficient versus 48.9% for the district. This strong early-grade math program is a key strength, though 5th-grade math remains a challenge, with only 41.67% proficient—below both the district and state averages.

Milam’s improvement is especially notable when compared to nearby schools that are struggling. While Scotland Park Elementary (11th percentile), Zundelowitz Elementary (5th percentile), and Southern Hills Elementary (15th percentile) are all in the bottom 15% of Texas elementary schools, Milam sits at the 68th percentile—a stark contrast. The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.8:1, lower than many peers like Fain Elementary (18:1) and Scotland Park (17.8:1), which likely supports more individualized attention. Geographically, Milam is located near top-performing schools like Fowler Elementary and West Foundation Elementary, both 4-star schools, providing a valuable benchmark for continued growth.

One of the most encouraging findings is that Milam’s improvement has been inclusive, with all major student subgroups performing in the 57th to 70th percentile range in 2025-2026—a significant leap from previous years. This suggests the school’s efforts have successfully narrowed achievement gaps, even as 61.86% of students are economically disadvantaged. While Milam is not yet at the level of its highest-achieving neighbors, its consistent upward trajectory, strong early-grade math program, and equitable outcomes make it a compelling choice for families seeking a school that is clearly on the rise within the district.
