Milford High School

We moved here over a year ago and my son has a very positive transitions. The AP and honor courses offered are very challenging and the teachers care for their students. They have numerous extraciricular activities for the students to be involved in - which helps them stay connected with a positive peer group. Also, parents have several opportunities to get involved and volunteer which help us with learning about the school, the administration, as well as other students. A great school if parents and students take the opportunites to get involved and make the most of their child's high school years.

It is my experience that this is totally untrue. Every school in America has a drug culture, if you choose to look for it. The fact that you can post what ever you wish on this site, with no support for your 'facts' removes any reputation it might have as a valid source.

This school is not good at all. My teen would come home high almost everyday. A lot of druggies. A lot of trouble, big big trouble.

I was a student at Milford High School but decided to homeschool instead. I got into school late, junior year, and no one was welcoming. The students stuck up their noses and continued to proceed down the hallway while the teachers were barely intelligent. I would ask the most simple questions to get where I needed to be, but no one could answer them. The AP classes shouldn't have been called AP, in other highschools they would be considered normal classes so I was not challenged in the month I attended this school. The teachers were no help to me and focused on worksheets instead of actually teaching. If you have another option other than Milford High School, I would highly recommend it.

I am currently a student at Milford High School. This is my second year in the district and first year at public school. This is not a school for gifted children, or even motivated children. Many students in the school underachieve and many exceptions are made for them. The school has a very apparent primary focus of helping those underachievers. Due to this, the students who enjoy school and academics slip through the cracks. I am enrolled in multiple AP courses, and even the instruction in those is sub par. I need to teach myself many lessons not covered in class in order to pass my AP exams. Our school also has limited honors classes to make room for classes that are easy to pass so the students who fail academic classes can graduate. Parents, if you have a bright child, chances are slim that they will shine here.

I went to Milford as a freshman and I absolutely loved it! I can truely say I've missed this school more than I've missed anyone else. The place is so clean and pure, something I miss very much! The atmosphere is wonderful and light and the teachers are great, hard-working people who care about the students. There are so many opportunities, academics, and atheletical choices. Out of all of the high schools I've been to, Milford had the most and well organized clubs, had the best coaches and attitudes on the teams, and had so many courses to choose from. There are so many great things about Milford that I can go on and on and on, but you truely have to go there and see for yourself. One of the other comments said to try Brighton. Don't, it's horrible. I found that out the hard way.

I attend Milford High School as a freshman and there is no other school I would rather attend. It's a beautiful school, and the adults treat us like we get to make the decisions, and our future is in our hands. There are so many classes and oppourtunities we have like Many courses in child development, art, drafting, languages, creative writing, engineering, and physical education. The teachers are very into making sure that we enjoy our time, but learn skills that will carry with us. The athletics, which many are done in our fieldhouse, are some of the best in the area, with teams placing in districts, regionals, as well as states. The spirit is like none you have ever seen before and our pride is something only given by a maverick! Our music program is also incredible with high placements in every competion we have been in.

I'm a parent of a recent graduate. My daughter is an excellent student who was never challenged academically even in her AP classes. The emphasis in this school and in the entire district is on fancy buildings and self important administrators who are most concerned with their own self promotion. They answer any criticism by telling the parents to 'get involved' and then they ignore and over ride parents input. All the money goes to the top level administrators and the students are stuck with poorly paid second rate teachers. Avoid this district if at all possible. Try Hartland, Brighton or even Howell.

Students receive A's on homework assigned and then E's on tests. A parent is lulled into a false sense that all is going well. Students' homework should be graded and corrected correctly.

This school has many issues, most are related to the administrations unwillingness to address problems when either a child or parent has an issue. There are a few good teachers, but most just want to present the material and do not care about learning.
