Elementary Schools in Milton School District

Summary:

The Milton School District in Vermont has only one elementary school, Milton Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 87th out of 137 Vermont elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 114th out of 133 in 2021-2022, and its current 2-star rating out of 5 placing it below the state average.

Milton Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are below the state averages for 4th grade students, with 53.57% of 4th graders proficient in ELA compared to 61% statewide, and 22.62% proficient in Math compared to 34.25% statewide. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 14.4%, which is likely impacting student performance. Additionally, 46.56% of students at Milton Elementary School receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Milton Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. However, the school's overall performance and the high level of economic disadvantage among its students suggest that the district and school leadership should prioritize addressing the chronic absenteeism issue, improving academic outcomes, and providing additional support for the needs of the economically disadvantaged student population.
