Summary

Milford Mill Academy is a public high school in Baltimore, MD, serving 1,471 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, with 61% of students from low-income families.

Milford Mill Academy shows a clear upward trend in its state ranking, moving from the 5th percentile in 2017-2018 to the 24th percentile in 2025-2026, which is a positive sign of improvement compared to nearby schools like Owings Mills High, which has dropped from the 9th to the 14th percentile in a similar timeframe. The school's graduation rate of 83.7% is a relative strength, nearly matching the district average of 84.3% and outperforming Owings Mills High (68.4%) and Woodlawn High (80.6%). However, math proficiency is critically low at just 5.3%, far below the district average of 21.9% and the state average of 27.1%, with a 0% proficiency rate in Geometry for the 2025-2026 school year. Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge at 35.8%, which is 10 percentage points higher than the district average and the highest among its Baltimore County peers.

Despite these challenges, Milford Mill Academy outperforms nearly every nearby Baltimore City Public Schools school in key metrics like graduation rate, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. For example, its 38.3% English Language Arts proficiency is nearly double that of Forest Park High (20.4%) and Frederick Douglass High (21.4%). The school presents a "graduation vs. proficiency" paradox, successfully graduating students but struggling to ensure academic proficiency, especially in math. This gap is wider than at Pikesville High, which has a 92.6% graduation rate and a 10.8% math proficiency rate. Interestingly, per-student spending at Milford Mill ($16,583) is lower than Frederick Douglass High ($26,525), yet outcomes are better, suggesting that challenges are tied to socioeconomic factors rather than funding alone.
