I've been comeing to this school ever since I was in kindergarden. We have amazing teachers that will help you with anything you want. I also think that my 8th grade teachers are the best. Seeing how we have 52 students and we only have two classes except for specials and math. Also when mrs.Bustard

You get really close to all of your teachers and they will help as much as they can they stay after school and take study halls to help out also. Yes I do admitt that our sports are not as good as I would like seeing how I play a sport every season. But mostly because our field isn't ready. Read less

I would have to say that overall I am not impressed nor unimpressed with the school. I have found that the level of bullying is ridiculous but that the teachers are willing to help when asked. My son is special needs and he gets the help when he needs it. My problem lies with the lack of parenting in

If they could teach their children manners, it wouldn't be the responsibility of the teaching staff to control the behavior of the students. My daughter is gifted. She is allowed to express her intelligence and given the chance to complete more advanced work yet remain in the classroom. Not too many schools can do that for your child. Trust me, when you have a child on both ends of the spectrum, it isn't too easy to find a good school. Read less

Band does not start until 5th grade, leaving kids at a disadvantage in High School. Art work is graded harshly, risking the possible squelching of creative exploration. There are no intramural sports. Fields are often unusable. For the last two years, boys basketball practices were 2.5 hours long,

Without outside training/coaching, athletes have a difficult time competing at High School level. Very few children continue drama in High School. Children are allowed to leave classes to just hang out in the music room. Teachers who truly care, seem to be burning out. Read less

I have to disagree with a majority of these reviews, especially concerning the music, chorus and drama dept. I have never seen a teacher care so much and put so much time into her students as the one here at Milford. I have attended many concerts and plays and have been blown away with the talent
... Read more and amount of effort that has gone into the students. I see no evidence of favoritism and feel that the best parts are given to the most qualified students. Everyone is given a fair chance. I think the school should be given the benfit of the doubt. Maybe its some of the parents that need the help. Read less

I was a student at Milford from kindergarden to 8th grade and I hated it. The teachers were nice, but couldn't control my class half of the time. The principals were stupid. I'm glad to be out of there.

I beg to differ with all of the other reviews. I happen to like the teachers at the school. All the teachers explain everything throughly and are there everyday that they are not sick. Most of them are nice and I don't know how you could say they are bad. My son graduated from Milford and is now

They have laptops for the upper classmen and they offer plays where your son or daughter gets to speak in it no matter if everyone else thinks their bad or good. The bullying is under control completely. If you want a good learning experience for your child then send them here! Read less

I sadly have to agree with the negative comments about this school. Favrotism by teachers towards their own children or children of their co workers is in abundance, and nothing is done to curb it. In fact, it becomes something of a joke to watch the same kids at school concerts etc land the prime roles.
... Read more Bullying is prevalent and is not squashed, and parents are made to feel like trouble makers should they dare voice concerns. Music lessons, art and drama are poor, and lack direction and substance as well as sports programs. Children are forced to be weighed in front of peers, which can cause low self esteem. A poor school with a poor attitude, poor quality of teaching and poor test scores. if you value your childrens education, find a better school. Read less
