Summary

Milford High School is a public school serving about 655 students in grades 9–12 in Milford, New Hampshire, a competitive area with several highly ranked high schools nearby. The school ranks 25th of 89 New Hampshire high schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 72nd percentile and earning four stars. This is a substantial improvement from 51st place the previous year. The school’s performance also exceeds the overall standing of the Milford School District, which ranks 109th of 166 districts statewide. With a 10.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, Milford is a medium-sized high school with improving staffing levels.

Student completion is one of Milford’s clearest strengths. The latest graduation rate was 95.5%, well above the 87.0% state average and comparable to Hollis-Brookline High School and Wilton-Lyndeboro Senior High School. Milford also reported a 0.0% dropout rate. Academically, reading is the strongest subject: 64% of students were proficient, compared with 55% statewide. That result is ahead of Nashua High School South, Mascenic Regional High School, and Wilton-Lyndeboro, though it trails elite local schools such as Bedford High School, Hollis-Brookline High School, and Souhegan Coop High School.

Mathematics is the main area needing attention: 36% of students were proficient, eight points below the state average, although the school’s SAT math result was above the state rate. Science also remains mixed but improved sharply, rising from 24% to 39% in one year and nearly matching the state average. Overall, Milford High School is a solid, improving upper-middle-tier option—stronger than Merrimack High School, Nashua’s high schools, and most other nearby comprehensive schools, but behind top performers such as Academy for Science and Design Charter, Bedford, Souhegan, and Hollis-Brookline. Sustaining recent gains while improving math could help the school move higher.
