Summary

Milton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 559 students in grades PK-5 in Milton, West Virginia, which is part of the Cabell County Schools district. While the district is ranked 10th out of 55 in the state and has a 4-star rating, Milton Elementary has seen fluctuations in its own statewide ranking, ranging from 130th to 371st out of West Virginia's elementary schools, and its SchoolDigger rating has varied from 0 to 3 stars.

Academically, Milton Elementary's student performance on state assessments is generally below the Cabell County and West Virginia averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Milton's 3rd grade math proficiency was 50%, compared to 53.9% for Cabell County and 53% for the state. In contrast, nearby schools like Culloden Elementary and West Teays Elementary have significantly higher proficiency rates, often exceeding 60-70% in math and English language arts.

Despite the higher per-student spending of $12,070 in 2018-2019, which is above the state average, Milton Elementary's student-teacher ratio of around 15:1 is higher than some of the nearby higher-performing schools, which have ratios around 10-14:1. This suggests that the school may need to examine how resources are being allocated and consider ways to optimize staffing and support structures to better serve its diverse student population and improve academic outcomes.
