School Reviews
3 5/9/2022
The Milnor elementary school isn't the worst school if you're looking to enroll your child. It does not have a lot of options for a music program, no art teacher at the moment, and seems that they are more concerned about sports and one-act than other elective classes. They offer free and reduced lunches, the kids usually don't complain about the food. They have no busing in town which makes getting kids to and from school difficult for those who work a typical 8-5 job. Some teachers are very nice and flexible, others not so much. Overall not a bad school, but could use some improvement in certain areas.
