Milton-Union High School

Summary:

Milton-Union High School is a public high school serving 383 students in grades 9-12 in West Milton, Ohio, which is part of the Milton-Union Exempted Village School District. This school stands out for its consistently high graduation rates, strong academic performance on state tests, and relatively homogeneous student population compared to nearby schools.

With a 92.95% white student population, Milton-Union High School has a significantly less diverse student body than the nearby Miami Valley Ctc, which has 81.79% white students. However, the school's students perform well on state assessments, exceeding the state average in subjects like American Government, American History, and Algebra I. Additionally, the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating stable academic quality over time.

While Milton-Union High School has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, reaching 34.3% in 2023-2024, this is still lower than the state average. The school's performance on subgroups, such as female, male, and low-income students, is generally on par with or better than the state, suggesting the school is effectively supporting the needs of diverse learners. Overall, Milton-Union High School appears to be a strong-performing school, but the rising chronic absenteeism rates are an area that the school and district should closely monitor and address to maintain the school's positive trajectory.

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.
