Summary:
Zip code 76670 is home to a single school, Milford School, a small PK-12 alternative school within the Milford Independent School District (Isd) that serves 258 students in a rural setting.
Milford School presents a compelling paradox: it boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, yet its standardized test scores are significantly below state averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels. For example, 4th-grade reading proficiency was just 10.53% and 4th-grade math proficiency was only 5.26%, compared to state averages around 50%. The school’s performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams is relatively stronger, with U.S. History at 50% and Biology at 47.37%, but these still trail the state. A positive trend is visible year-over-year, with notable improvements from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, such as Algebra I EOC scores rising from 8.57% to 18.52% and Biology EOC from 29.03% to 47.37%. However, the 2024-2025 data also showed a concerning "zero score" anomaly, where 0% of students met proficiency in four separate categories, including 4th and 5th-grade math.
With a low student-teacher ratio of 11.4:1 and per-student spending of $13,035, the school has resources for individualized attention, yet 64.73% of students are economically disadvantaged. This suggests the school is working against significant socioeconomic challenges, prioritizing graduation and credit recovery over high STAAR proficiency. For parents, this means Milford School is highly effective at ensuring students complete high school, but academic mastery in core subjects remains a critical area for improvement, with recent gains offering cautious optimism.
