Summary:
Milford Exempted Village is a 4-star Ohio district serving 5,772 students across 9 schools — 6 elementary schools (grades K-5 and PK-5), 1 middle school (grades 6-8), and 2 high schools (grades 9-12 and 10-12) — and it ranks 155th of 773 districts statewide, placing it in the 80th percentile.
Academically, the district is strong but uneven. Meadowview Elementary School is the flagship: it is the only school with 5 stars in 2025-2026 and has held 5 stars for three straight years, ranking in the top 10% of Ohio elementaries (92nd percentile) with chronic absenteeism of just 8.4%. Boyd E Smith Elementary School was 5 stars in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 before slipping to 4 stars and the 89th percentile. Milford Middle School improved from the 77th to the 86th percentile and posts strong Science 8th grade (86.6%) and Math 8th grade (85.2%) results while reporting the district's lowest per-student spending at $7,318. Mulberry Elementary School and Charles L Seipelt Elementary School also gained ground, rising to the 86th and 82nd percentiles.
The clearest concerns are attendance and a few math weak spots. Milford Academy, a 46-student high school, is the district outlier at 1 star and the 20th percentile with 75.9% chronic absenteeism. Milford Senior High School remains solid (4 stars, 96.9% graduation rate) but has 33.8% chronic absenteeism and lower Geometry (58.9%). Elementary attendance is much better, led by Pattison Elementary School at 7.0%. Notably, poverty does not map neatly onto performance — Mulberry has the highest reported free/reduced lunch rate at 37.22% yet performs near the top.
