High Schools in Milton Area School District

Summary:

The Milton Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to one high school, Milton High School, which serves grades 9-12. Despite serving a student population with a relatively high percentage of economic need, the school has demonstrated strong academic performance and a supportive environment for its students.

Milton High School stands out as a strong-performing school within the state of Pennsylvania. The school has seen its statewide ranking improve over the past few years, moving from #413 out of 674 Pennsylvania high schools in 2022-2023 to a projected #208 out of 681 in 2024-2025. Its proficiency rates on the Keystone Exams, particularly in Algebra I (68.7% vs. 44.3% state average) and Literature (66.9% vs. 62.1% state average), are notably higher than the state averages. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% for the 2023-2024 school year exceeds the state average.

Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $17,242, the school still has a relatively high percentage of students (52.04%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic challenges within the community. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.7 and a dropout rate of 1.4% for the 2023-2024 school year suggest that Milton High School is creating a supportive environment that helps students succeed and stay engaged in their education.
