Summary

Milan High School is a public high school in Milan, Tennessee, serving 523 students in grades 9–12 within the Milan Special School District. The school currently holds a 3-star rating for 2025-26, ranking 131st out of 400 Tennessee high schools — a step back from its 4-star, 87th-percentile performance in 2023-24. Despite the rating dip, Milan shines in student success metrics: its 98.3% graduation rate is the highest among all nearby schools and nearly eight points above the state average of 90.5%. The dropout rate is also exceptionally low at just 1.0%, and chronic absenteeism at 12.6% is well below the state rate of 18.9%.

Academically, Milan posts a distinctive subject split. Students consistently outperform the state in English II, Biology I, Algebra II, and Geometry, but lag in Algebra I and English I — subjects typically taken in 9th grade. For example, 65.7% of students scored proficient in English II versus 58.1% statewide, while only 25.9% were proficient in Algebra I compared with 32.3% statewide. Biology is a signature strength, with Milan exceeding the state every year, peaking at 65.4% proficiency in 2023-24. This pattern suggests that 9th-grade foundational coursework is Milan's clearest challenge and an area where school leaders may want to focus attention.

Compared with nearby schools, Milan clearly outperforms North Side High School, Liberty Technology Magnet High School, and Humboldt Junior/Senior High School in graduation, attendance, and most subjects. However, South Gibson County High School, just eight miles away, remains the regional academic benchmark with 5 stars and a top-20 statewide ranking. Milan's graduation rate tops South Gibson's (98.3% vs. 95.1%), but South Gibson posts stronger test results across every subject while spending roughly $3,200 less per student. Milan spends $13,868 per student, less than several neighboring districts, and delivers solid outcomes. The separate Milan High School Academy on the same campus serves 39 students with different outcomes, so families should understand that structure when reviewing district data.
