Summary

Milan High School is a mid-sized public high school in Milan, MI, serving roughly 526 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Milan Area Schools district.

For parents, the standout strength here is graduation. Milan High School posts a 91.9% graduation rate—well above the state average of 84.0%—and its dropout rate of 1.4% is dramatically lower than the state's 7.1%. This has been consistent for years, making it a reliable place for students to finish high school. Academically, the school shines in reading and writing: 59.1% of 11th graders were proficient on the SAT, beating the state's 52.1%. However, math is a persistent weak spot, with only 18.9% proficient versus 26.5% statewide, and science scores have slipped in recent years. The school also serves a more economically diverse population than nearby top performers—about 30% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, compared to 13.7% at Saline High School—which may help explain some performance gaps. One odd data point: the school reported a 92.4% chronic absenteeism rate for 2024-2025, a figure that seems inconsistent with its strong graduation and test results that same year and likely warrants a closer look.

Compared to regional peers, Milan sits in the middle. It ranks in the 55th percentile statewide, far behind Saline High School (97th percentile) and Washtenaw International High School (98th percentile), but ahead of Lincoln Senior High School (35th percentile) and Arbor Preparatory High School (30th percentile). Notably, Dundee Community High School achieves a higher ranking (72nd percentile) while spending less per student. Milan's spending is moderate at about $17,778 per student, but its subgroup results—especially for economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the 27th percentile—suggest the school could improve how it serves all learners. The school has also declined from its 4-star ratings in 2015-2018 to a steady 3-star level since, so while it remains a solid choice, it hasn't recaptured its earlier excellence.
