While Milford High School's consistent academic performance and high graduation rates are impressive, the school's lack of racial diversity and the relatively high rate of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.9% to 30.6% over the past few years, are areas that warrant further investigation and potential improvement efforts. These findings highlight the need to address equity and access in the education system, ensuring that all students, regardless of their racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic background, have the opportunity to succeed.
