Summary

Milton High is a public school in Milton, MA, serving grades 9–12 with about 1,083 students, and it is part of the Milton district, which ranks 35th of 351 districts statewide (90th percentile, 5 stars). The school itself ranked 38th of 353 Massachusetts high schools in 2025–26 (89th percentile, 4 stars). Its record is consistent rather than a one-year spike: it placed 30th of 349 in 2024–25, 34th of 348 in 2023–24, 43rd of 347 in 2022–23, and 26th of 342 in 2021–22, moving up from the 78th percentile in 2015–16 to roughly the top 10–15% of the state in most recent years.

For 2025–26, 10th-grade MCAS proficiency was 66.67% in English language arts, 68.44% in math, 70.23% in science, and 73.6% in Biology end-of-course — all well above state averages of 45.48%, 43.73%, 40.5%, and 37.68%. Milton High leads every nearby school in these subjects. North Quincy High is the closest peer, but Milton is ahead by about 7 points in ELA, 9 in math, and 16 in science, while Dedham High trails considerably further. Completion outcomes are strong too: a 97.7% graduation rate and 0.8% dropout rate in 2024–25, better than the district's 95.9% and 1.1%. Every reported student subgroup ranked at or above the 74th percentile statewide, a sign the school serves a broad range of students well, not just its top performers.

Spending is relatively modest: $15,443 per student in 2020–21, the lowest among comparable nearby schools, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.4. One watch item: scores dipped from 2024–25 to 2025–26 — ELA from 75.71% to 66.67%, math from 72.83% to 68.44%, and science from 84.36% to 70.23%. Even so, results remain above state averages and local peers.
