Summary

Milford High in Milford, MA is a public high school serving grades 9–12 with 1,316 students, located in an area where many nearby high schools rank among the state’s top performers. It is part of the Milford district, which is ranked 289th of 351 Massachusetts districts (18th percentile, 1 star). In 2025–2026, Milford High itself ranked 253rd of 353 high schools (28th percentile, 1 star), down from the 32nd percentile in 2024–2025 and the 40th percentile in 2022–2023, after earning 2 stars in each of the prior four reported years.

Academically, Milford High’s 2025–2026 10th-grade MCAS proficiency rates are below state averages in every core subject: ELA 31.69% vs. 45.48% state, Mathematics 27.44% vs. 43.73%, Science 23.72% vs. 40.5%, and Biology End of Course 27.49% vs. 37.68%. The school’s graduation rate was 80.0% in 2024–2025, with a 15.1% dropout rate. That is the weakest graduation and dropout picture among nearby schools. For comparison, Franklin High had a 99.2% graduation rate and 0.3% dropout rate; Northbridge High had 85.8% and 11.3%; Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical and Blackstone Valley both reported 100% graduation and 0.0% dropout; and Hopkinton High, ranked 3rd of 353, had 96.9% graduation and 0.3% dropout. Milford High is lower than every listed nearby school in 10th-grade ELA, Mathematics, and Science.

Milford High’s trajectory is concerning: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, 10th-grade ELA proficiency fell from 55.74% to 31.69%, Math from 42.57% to 27.44%, and Science from 37.40% to 23.72%. The gap to the state widened substantially in each subject. Resources do not appear to be the obvious explanation: per-student spending was $15,379 in 2020–2021, and the student-teacher ratio was 11.8 in 2024–2025, lower than several higher-performing neighbors. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven; the strongest reported subgroups rank only in the 43rd percentile, while low-income students rank at the 17th percentile and special education students at the 23rd, a sharp drop from the 58th percentile in 2024–2025.
