Summary

Milpitas Middle College High is a small grades 9–12 school with 55 students in Milpitas, California, in the Milpitas Unified area. Its 2025–2026 proficiency rates were 56% in English Language Arts (ELA), 39% in math and 33% in science. A major bright spot is completion: the school reported a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, even as its test results have declined.

Compared with six nearby grades 9–12 schools with reported scores, the school was above the group’s average in all three subjects, but it was not a local leader: among seven schools including itself, it ranked fourth in ELA and science and third in math. Its scores were 10 points above the nearby average in ELA, 13 points above in math and 3 points above in science. Against the state’s all-grade rates, it was 6 points higher in ELA and 1 point higher in math, but 3 points lower in science. Its results were below Milpitas Unified in every subject—by 14 points in ELA, 26 in math and 24 in science. So, a result above the nearby average does not mean it is close to the district’s results, especially in math and science.

Test scores have fallen from their 2022–2023 highs: ELA dropped 24 points, math 14 and science 27 by 2025–2026. Over the same period, Milpitas Middle College High’s SchoolDigger statewide rank fell from the 94th percentile to the 65th, with a 3-star rating in 2025–2026; the district is rated at the 86th percentile and 4 stars. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for male students was at the 37th percentile, down from the 99th in 2022–2023; for Asian students, it was also at the 37th percentile, compared with the 87th. These rankings are worth watching, though results can shift at a school with just 55 students. In 2024–2025, 42% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby-school average of 62%; the student-teacher ratio was 17.3, close to the nearby average of 16.8.
