Summary

Milford Middle School is a 6–8 school in Milford, Ohio — a Clermont County community roughly 15–20 miles east of Cincinnati — serving 978 students as part of the Milford Exempted Village district, and in 2025–2026 it ranked 149th of 1,046 Ohio middle schools, the 86th percentile at 4 stars, the highest position in its ten-year history after sitting at the 66th percentile in 2018–2019.

Academically, students score far above the state average in nearly every tested area: 85.2% proficient in 8th-grade math, 86.6% in 8th-grade science, and 79.7% in 8th-grade English language arts, against state figures of 52.0%, 61.2% and 58.3%. The exception is 7th-grade math, at 50.9% against a state mark of 48.6% — essentially average, and unchanged for four straight years. Compared with nearby schools, Milford outperforms Goshen Middle School in six of seven tested areas and beats West Clermont Middle School across the board. Against wealthier neighbors such as Madeira Middle School, Indian Hill Middle School, Loveland Middle School and Sycamore Junior High School, Milford sits one tier down, though its science and 8th-grade math results already rival theirs.

Two things stand out for families. First, chronic absenteeism is 17.2%, better than the district's 19.9% and down from 23.3% in 2021–2022, but well above lower-absence suburban peers. Second, Milford spends $7,318 per student — less than every comparison school — while producing results near the top of the group. Low-income students rank at the 70th percentile, while special education (59th) and gifted (60th) sit below the school's overall 86th.
