Milford Middle School

Summary:

Milford Middle School is a public middle school serving 464 students in grades 6-8 in Milford, New Hampshire, which is part of the Milford School District. While the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 89% of students identifying as white, its academic performance lags behind the state average and nearby high-achieving schools like Hollis-Brookline Middle School and Academy for Science and Design Charter School.

Milford Middle School's proficiency rates on the New Hampshire SAS assessments in 2023-2024 were below the state averages, with 38% of students proficient or better in math, 51% in reading, and 39% in science. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its special education population ranking in the bottom half of New Hampshire middle schools. This suggests that the school may need to focus on supporting its underperforming student populations more effectively.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Milford Middle School generally underperforms academically, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between the top third and middle/bottom half of New Hampshire middle schools over the years. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (14.44%) suggests that it may not be serving a high-needs population, which could impact its academic performance. To improve, Milford Middle School may need to closely examine its instructional practices, resource allocation, and support for underperforming student populations.

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.
