Wonderful teachers but much room for growth and leadership needed in the administration. Sadly, the wrong people are appointed in these roles due to connections and the interest of the students are not the first priority. As a parent who never complains and raising children not feeling they are owed anything or entitled, if you can attend another surrounding high school in the area - do it. Until the administration becomes less about themselves and more about the students it will only continue to go downhill. Close Quote

I have one son that has graduated from Mill Creek and another currently attending. It's a gigantic school, but the teachers and staff make every student and parent feel counted. Great emphasis on academics. Athletics are fantastic. Close Quote

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.
