Summary

Millikan High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving grades 9-12 to over 3,400 students in the Long Beach Unified School District, consistently ranking in the top quartile of all California high schools.

The school demonstrates clear strengths, particularly in English Language Arts, where student proficiency significantly outpaces both the district and state averages, and in its impressive 94.4% graduation rate. Millikan also does an excellent job keeping students engaged, with a chronic absenteeism rate much lower than the Long Beach Unified average and better than nearby comprehensive schools like Wilson High and Lakewood High. However, mathematics is a relative area for growth, with proficiency rates currently trailing the district average.

While Millikan is a strong performer among comprehensive high schools, specialized schools within the district, such as the Eunice Sato Academy of Math & Science, achieve higher test scores. Compared to schools in neighboring districts, Millikan performs similarly to Mayfair High in Bellflower Unified but trails higher-ranked schools like Los Alamitos High. The school has shown a consistent upward trajectory in its statewide ranking over recent years.
