Summary:
The Milford School District in Delaware is home to a single high school, Milford Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance has been declining, with proficiency rates in standardized tests falling below the state averages in subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.
Milford Senior High School's four-year graduation rate is 80.4%, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate is 5.2%. The school also faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 38.9% in the 2022-2023 school year. This high rate of chronic absenteeism may be contributing to the school's academic struggles. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $12,445 is below the state average, which could limit the resources available to support student learning and address the school's performance challenges.
Despite these challenges, the Milford School District and Milford Senior High School have an opportunity to address the needs of their diverse student population and improve academic outcomes. By addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate, investing in targeted interventions and resources, and working to close the achievement gap, the school can strive to better serve the Milford community and provide a high-quality education for all students.
