Summary

Milton High is a public high school serving 1,054 students in grades 9-12 in Milton, Wisconsin, as part of the Milton School District. Over the past 10 years, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, but it currently holds a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milton High consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency across various subjects, including social studies, English language arts, mathematics, and science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 55.16% of 10th-grade students at Milton High were proficient or better in social studies, compared to the state average of 47.67%. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.4% to 97.0% over the past few years, consistently outperforming the state average. Additionally, Milton High has shown strong performance among certain student subgroups, such as Asian students and Hispanic students, who have ranked highly compared to their peers statewide.

While Milton High generally outperforms the nearby schools, such as Fort Atkinson High, in academic proficiency, graduation rates, and subgroup performance, the exceptional performance of the nearby Koshkonong Trails School, a public charter school, highlights the potential for even higher academic achievement within the region. Milton High's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 19.18% to 21.82% over the past few years, suggests that the school may have a lower proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to some of the nearby schools, which could contribute to its stronger academic performance.
