Milton

Milton, MA has six public schools — four elementary, one middle and one high school — serving 4,367 students, and the Milton district ranks 35th of 351 in Massachusetts, at the 90th percentile with 5 stars. Enrollment is 1,083 at Milton High, 1,002 at Charles S Pierce Middle, and 2,282 across the four elementaries. The data includes rank history from 2023–24 through 2025–26, MCAS Next Generation results, high school graduation and dropout rates, per-student spending from 2020–21, and student-teacher ratios from 2024–25. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all six schools, so poverty-based comparisons are not possible.

Milton High posts the strongest high school outcomes: a 97.7% graduation rate and 0.8% dropout rate in 2024–25, plus 2025–26 proficiency of 66.67% in ELA, 68.44% in math and 70.23% in science — all well above state figures, though lower than 2024–25. Charles S Pierce Middle is steadily improving, moving from 69th to 61st of 478 middle schools, with science at 74.31% and civics at 65.95%. Among elementaries, Collicot ranks highest at 95th of 899 but has slipped from 48th three years earlier. Tucker made the biggest jump, from 270th to 177th, yet still has the district's lowest ELA (57.35%) and science (56.52%). Glover is consistent near 99th, and Cunningham School is strong in math and science but below the district in ELA.

Every school beat the corresponding state average in 2025–26, but results varied notably inside the district: ELA ranged from 57.35% to 66.67%, math from 59.06% to 68.44%, and science showed the widest gap — Tucker's 56.52% versus Pierce's 74.31%. Spending and performance show no simple relationship: Glover had the lowest per-student spending at $14,244 yet stable top-100 elementary rankings, while Cunningham had the highest at $16,526. Student-teacher ratios ranged from 11.5 at Pierce to 14.9 at Collicot. Pierce improved in ELA, math, science and civics year over year, while Collicot and Milton High declined in several tested areas.
