Milan High School

Summary:

Milan High School is a public high school located in Milan, Michigan, serving 568 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Milan Area Schools district, which is ranked 242 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Milan High School stands out for its predominantly white student population, with 83.8% of students identifying as white, significantly higher than nearby schools like Washtenaw International High School and Pathways To Success Academic Campus. Academically, the school has shown mixed performance, with strong proficiency in SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing but average or below-average results in other areas like M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, its dropout rate has been higher than the state average, and chronic absenteeism has significantly increased in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Milan High School stands out for its racial homogeneity and academic strengths in certain areas, but it lags behind high-performing schools like Washtenaw International High School in overall academic achievement. The school's growing population of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds may be a contributing factor to its academic and attendance challenges, and the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. Despite increased per-student spending, the impact on academic outcomes is not yet clear, and the school's racial, socioeconomic, and subgroup performance disparities warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
