Milford Mill Academy

I have child that attends Milford Mill Academy and for what I have seen is that it is a great school, with great programs and energetic kids who all aspire for the most out of life. The staff does all that they do with public funds and the contributions of the parents.

This is perhaps one of the worst schools in the county. Students are not only bad, but extremely nasty. They have zero respect for their peers or the faculty. Stay as far away from as possible.

Milford mill is not a bad school! as a senoir im highly abset at all the negitivety aimed at my school. Education is what you make it that goes for anyschool anywhere! the teachers do care about us & do put in the time & effort to help us learn. People are going by test scores & summing us up and its not fair, those student who dont care are the outliers that are holding us back. If you want to learn, do the work. At the same time we dont recieve alot of funding, so most of the things we have we raised money for with hardwork!!! & if your interested in sports here, the boys varsity basketball team are county champs along with jv wrestling team. We dominate track everywhere & have 1 of the best football programs in the state, we went to the county championchip this year

Milford Mill Academy is well not one of the best school in Baltimore County, but for learning there you can't get no better. I have attended Owings Mills and found that even at Milford, with the a low budget and probably not as much resources as OMHS, there is a better opportunity of succeeding and achieving any goal. I was also in the Marine Corp JROTC and GySgt Reid was one of the best instructors anyone could have. Overall this school is probably one school I would like to remember and hope that the parents/guardians would see pass those that give it a bad name and actually begin to care for that school, because it really needs the support of the parents, guardians and the community as a whole.

I recently graduated from Milford (c/o 2005) and I have to honestly say that a school what you make of it. Although Milford is not one of the best school there is out there as far as funding and student/parent participation, if you choose to learn you will. Maybe I was fortunate enough to have teachers who cared or maybe I cared enough about myself and my self worth to do what I needed to do, but I learned a lot at that school. For students who run the halls or spend the school day outside that's on them and test scores will be low because of their choices but I didn't make those choices and I did quite well for myself. So to say Milford is a horrible school is not true. It is what you make it out to be for you.

MMA has made strides in discipline, but there needs to be a bigger push for academic excellence. Teachers just give grades. My son told me he had a 75 average and the English teacher gave him a B. The last time I checked, a 75 was a mid C. His friend a senior who's been there longer told me that teachers will pass students just to move them on. MMA needs to help our children earn their grades so that they will be truly successful in the real world by challenging them to their full potential. Let's teach them how to fish instead of giving them fish to eat or we'll find ourselves feeding them for the rest of their natural lives.

Milford Mill Academy is not a terrible school. Parents should stop critizing Milford and support Milford in it's efforts to become a better school. Milford Mill may not be the greatest school in Baltimore County but it has improved. Since Principal Gibson has taken over Milford has changed and the students are excelling. Stop pushing the blame and take responsibility.

Milford Mill is one of the worst high schools in Baltimore County. The problems start at the top. It's a sad state of affairs when the teachers and top administrators at the school don't care. Yet they expect the kids to learn.
