I am a student at MHS, and so far it has been the best experience of my life. The teachers are nice and really understand what they are teaching and how to teach us. I strongly disagree with the parents who said that there si never homework,and that the majority of the kids have been to court. I get

There is no doubt that Milford has the best music and theatre program in MA. The students are eager to learn, work together well and the teachers love what they do. Milford High School gets an A+++ from me. I look forward to going to school every day. Read less

I also am a class of 2002 graduate and I must say, my high school experience was wonderful. I feel that I was very well prepared for college and at my present job, hiring people for temp jobs, I find that it absolutly depends on the teacher and student relationship when it comes to skills. I have applicants

It totally just depends on a students own work ethic. The school is great, amazing faculty and staff, the best music and theater program you will see in the state of MA! Read less

I have a child in Milford High School (10th grade) and am very pleased in general. I find the teachers to be very good at what they do. There are plenty of extra curricular activities. And for us have found the administration to go above and beyond duty whenever necessary. My child has plenty of homework

I was just reading some of the comments made by concered parents. I attended Milford High and graduated in 2002. I had amazing teachers and I am thankful for that. Once I got to college I was absolutely shocked that many to the majority of students in my class did not know how to write papers. They

However, I do believe it really depends on what teachers a student has and how involved parents get in making sure their children get the teacher that can teach well. The music department is absolutely amazing, trust me, after observing some schools in inner cities, we really should be thankful of our well rounded academics. Read less

I just enrolled in Milford this year and out of the 3 high school's I've attended, Milford is, without a doubt, the best out of all 3. The students are respectful, most of the teaching methods are impeccable, the administration is on the ball at all times. They offer music theory, which most school tend

The Milford High School is a mess. Theres so many problems. MHS needs to start with a new administration from the principal down to the Vice principal. The school work is very easy and my child never gets homework. MHS is very disapointing.

Overall I am satisfied with the school. However, I believe that there could be more emphasis in two areas. One would be homework. There is not enough of it or it seems that it is not challenging. Make homework fun and enlightening, not something that will completely stress out a kid. The other would

I am very dissapointed at the middle school level. The schools have an abundance of older teachers that should have retired when they lost interest in teaching. The children are not being stimulated or challenged. The children NEVER have any homework and mine are in 'AP' classes. I think in general the
