Summary

Millbrook High is a large, comprehensive public high school in Raleigh, NC, serving 2,498 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Wake County Schools district. The district itself is strong, ranking 60th of 246 North Carolina districts with 4 stars, but Millbrook’s own state ranking sits at 301 of 662 schools (55th percentile, 3 stars) — a mid-pack position that places it behind nearby comprehensive high schools like Enloe High and Needham Broughton High, close to Wakefield High, and ahead of Sanderson High.

Academically, Millbrook posts solid results in some areas and struggles in others. Its graduation rate of 90.7% tops the state average of 88.8%, and students score about as well as the district average in Biology (67.3%) and English II (75.2%). The main weak spot is upper-level math — just 66.1% of students are proficient in Math III, well below the district’s 76.4% and below the state average. Millbrook students actually beat some higher-ranked neighbors on Math I, so the concern is more about the higher-level pathway than foundational skills. There are also meaningful achievement gaps among student groups that will require attention.

Millbrook’s most pressing operational issue is chronic absenteeism. At 30.8%, the rate runs about ten points above the district average of 20.5% and is higher than nearby schools like Enloe High and Needham Broughton High. The school draws an economically diverse student body, with about one-third eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Specialized schools nearby — such as Raleigh Charter High School and Wake Early College of Health and Science — post stronger test scores, but they operate under different admissions models. For a large neighborhood high school, Millbrook remains solidly mid-performing, and its graduation rate is healthier than attendance trends alone would suggest. Cutting chronic absence and lifting Math III proficiency would help Millbrook climb back toward the upper tier of the district’s comprehensive high schools.

Millbrook used to be a gang school, but it is getting better with a great principal and the help and mentoring of a large local church. Close Quote
