Summary:
Milton, Massachusetts is served by six public schools in the Milton district — four elementaries (Collicot, Cunningham School, Glover, and Tucker), one middle school (Charles S Pierce Middle), and one high school (Milton High) — enrolling roughly 4,367 students. The district ranks 35th of 351 in Massachusetts (90th percentile, 5 stars), and every school carries a 4-star rating with every reported test score above the state average. Two caveats: free/reduced-lunch percentages are not reported for any school here, and per-student spending figures date to 2020–2021.
Comparing schools, each has a distinct profile. Collicot has the highest recent peak (#48 of 916 elementaries, 95th percentile in 2023–2024) and the best elementary math, but its percentile and science scores have slid. Tucker is the biggest riser (percentile 72 → 80), though it remains the lowest-ranked Milton school and has the district's weakest 4th-grade results. Charles S Pierce Middle improved in all four reported subjects, but its math trails the district. Milton High posts the best graduation (97.7%) and dropout (0.8%) outcomes, yet had the largest science drop. Glover is steady with the lowest spending ($14,244); Cunningham School spends the most ($16,526) but reads below district.
Three patterns matter most for families. Science is the district-wide pressure point — five of six schools lost ground year over year, with the steepest drops at the high school and Collicot. Fifth-grade math is the shared strength, with all four elementaries well above the state. And rankings are relative: a school can improve in absolute terms yet hold steady, because the whole state moved too. No single school earned 5 stars this year; the district's rating comes from six consistently strong schools with no weak link.
