Summary

Richard Milburn Academy Midland is a small alternative high school in Midland, TX, serving 149 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Richard Milburn Alter High School (Killeen) district. This school is designed for students who have struggled in traditional settings, and its data reflects the immense challenges of serving a highly at-risk population. The school has a very low graduation rate of 23.2% and a high dropout rate of 24.4%, which are dramatically different from nearby comprehensive high schools like Midland High School (87.8% graduation, 2.7% dropout) and Permian High School (88.8% graduation, 1.8% dropout).

Academic proficiency at Richard Milburn Academy is very low across core subjects, with Algebra I at 6.67% and English I Reading at 10.71%, compared to state averages above 54%. However, there are a few notable points. The school shows a relative strength in Biology, with a 23.91% proficiency rate that consistently outperforms its own district average. Additionally, U.S. History proficiency has shown some volatility, jumping to 45.16% in 2024-2025 before settling at 18.37% in 2025-2026, suggesting that targeted instruction can yield results even if they are hard to sustain. A significant concern is the high student-to-teacher ratio of 30.2:1, which is much higher than other alternative schools in the area, such as the Midland Alternative Program (8.8:1) and Viola M Coleman High School (13.2:1).

An interesting comparison can be made with Premier H S Of Midland, another small alternative school located just 0.61 miles away. Premier H.S. has a much higher graduation rate (85.2%), a 0% dropout rate, and far superior test scores, showing that the "alternative school" model can vary widely in effectiveness. The key differences may include a lower student-teacher ratio (26:1) and stronger district support from the Premier High Schools district. Overall, Richard Milburn Academy Midland appears to be a placement of last resort, struggling to meet the immense needs of its students with limited resources, as evidenced by its high student-teacher ratio and low outcomes.
