Milton Middle School

Summary:

Milton Middle School is a public middle school serving 389 students in grades 5-8 in Milton, Vermont, which is part of the Mount Mansfield Unified Union School District #401. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, lags behind state and regional averages.

Milton Middle School's proficiency rates in VTCAP/English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state averages, sometimes by a significant margin. For example, in 6th grade VTCAP/English Language Arts, the school scored 37.74% proficient or better, compared to the state average of 55.65%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Vermont middle schools in the SchoolDigger rankings, with a ranking of 31 out of 50 in the 2022-2023 school year, well below top-performing nearby schools like Camels Hump Middle School and Frederick H. Tuttle Middle School.

The data also indicates that Milton Middle School's performance is particularly weak in mathematics, with proficiency rates well below the state averages across multiple grade levels. Additionally, the school's performance on various student subgroups, such as female students, male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students, is generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups. By closely examining the practices and strategies of the higher-performing nearby schools, Milton Middle School may be able to identify and implement effective strategies to enhance its educational outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
