Dont let the haters bring you down, Milton High is the epitome of bliss, joy, and greatness. It is like if you took a Hawaiian Roll and personified the greatness of the taste into a school. Milton excels in Football, I hear the Freshman team has a great player that goes by Ernie.

Bullying is insane! Staff does nothing and no matter how many times its brought up it gets brushed under the rug! And they only care about test scores. Teacher Tamara Philips is THE WORST MATH TEACHER I have ever stumbled on! If your child struggles with math already, avoid her as their teacher because she will not give help when its asked for and saysrefer back to notes as if that will teach a child! Simply put she doesnt teach! Shes a robot spewing information and nothing more! She also posts inappropriate content on her Facebook that demeans students and parents! Very unprofessional. If your child is not good at testing but has straight As they still place them based solely on the test scores which in most cases just dumbs down the student and they learn nothing all year only because they dont do well on tests! Worst school experience ever for my child! We wont be back next year!

This school is ridiculous! Teachers dont teach, they read from slides. Not to mention teaching things like rap artist Tupac in English and using rap culture in their curriculum as examples in their reading curriculum. Not sure how rap culture is educational. Students are disrespectful and bullying is horrendous! The safety is questionable since all the students walk in and out of buildings during passing periods while you have hand to hand drug deals happening across the street at the gas station. No lockers for students so they carry about 20 lbs of supplies from room to room. Overall worst school I have ever encountered!

Doesnt seem to be too much. I think the work needs to be done at school. Too much time wasted here
Posted: February 2, 2018
TEACHERS, let me say this again TEACHERS here are amazing. My kids have loved and adored most of the teachers. Administration on the other hand is the worst Ive ever seen.
Posted: February 2, 2018
Can I put 100 thumbs down on this. I wish I had more time to really explain in detail the lack of character and integrity the administration has and allows. They pick and change homecoming court results, let office staff have explicit conversations with students, doesnt investigate complaints. I could go on and on.

Bullying is more with the administration than with the students. Harassing, discrimination, retaliation.

Im giving the teachers 100, admin -1000000.

2/10. There is potential, but there are hurdles that keep kids from getting the best education possible. Overall, the education is subpar and more time is spent on behavior than education. Spare your family the waste of time this school is and go elsewhere.
The school proudly boasts the "A" rating with a Bronze, but schools that rank nationally rank in the top 500 in the nation with a Gold; one will not get a Gold-type education at this school despite the "A" rating. Do not get confused.

Some choose to not give homework because some students won't be able to get it done.
Posted: May 29, 2017
Just like any school, teachers have to work with what they are given. Some do great, while others are lazy.
Posted: May 29, 2017
Integrity starts at the top, so when that is lacking it is hard to instill and maintain in the students.
Posted: May 29, 2017
Some of the admin at this school are a joke and they have many ways of dealing with issues. Much depends on who you are and know.
Posted: May 29, 2017
There is one lady to assist with 504 plans (at least that's what we were told in our case) and she is overwhelmed so one may not get seen initially for months. But often times the teachers work with the students to assist in the meantime.

Depends on who you are. Some threats are taken seriously while others are ignored. We've seen consequences given to people (not ours) that did not seem to fit the act while others' detrimental actions may have been minimized.

The education found at this school is severely lacking. People proudly boast that it is an "A" school and has received a bronze award. That's a nice achievement. But the real "A" schools are the ones who received a gold award...the top 500 in the nation. This is NOT one of those schools. The teachers seem to do the best given what they have to work with. My kids have had very good experiences with their teachers. This school is a great example of small town good ole boy/girl mentality and athletics/politics take precedence over education. There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but don't expect much in the form of great education. One can easily get by with showing up to class and doing the bare minimum and still pass. If you play a sport and need to pass a drug test. No worries, there are people that can do that to ensure that certain people don't have to sit out. As far as getting a better education at a different high school nearby, I can't attest that it's any better. What I do know is that MHS is def not the worst school and has room for improvement (especially in class selection/level of difficulty).

If you aren't popular or play a sport there, you are nothing to them. If a child has problems, you help them you don't throw them out mainly because you've had it in for them since the beginning of the school year.

Worst school in Santa Rosa county. Its shameful how they allow bullying and how the faculty, staff, and administration gossip about students with other students. Its like a bunch of kids running it. Snobby kids. And Mr. Rowell (dean) swears he treats all kids equally. WRONG. If he does not like your child, he will make a way for them to be put out. Better cheer or play football or you're walking a thin line at Milton High!

Once Panther always a Panther. Class of 2011 Here are some Milton tips. 1 Don't compare the school to any other school. 2. Don't try to be an athlete if you don't love sports. 3. Rejoice in school spirit don't reject it. (my best memories are all pep-rallies, Homecoming actives, dances, parades and lunch block) 4 Look for great friends not cool friends. 5 If you don't like Milton and you can transfer schools then do it. The only holding the school back more then the lack of money, is negative from students, parents and administration.

Milton high school baseball is a joke. Don't call them tryouts if a team is already picked. Students arrived at these so called tryouts to find kids in last years uniforms that already had a morning "practice" (seniors we know they make the cut). The comments were made that if you weren't on a traveling team or attended summer/winter coaching camps with coach George Blake and telling students he didn't know who they were didn't feel very welcoming to new or homeschooled students. The numbers might be impressive-some 100 kds trying out for realistically 4-30 spots, but talent is missed. Bottom line of your new, didn't spend tons of bucks, and didn't spend a ton of time kissing up save yourself the trouble, anxiety, and pressure.

TERRIBLE!!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! First I find out that my child is allowed to turn in work WHENEVER she wants to and they will accept it for the complete grade (not late)! That leads me to believe that any other student doing their work on time means nothing! Secondly, some teachers just don't feel like posting grades at the end of the 9 weeks so I guess that means its a wash for the class and no one at the school seems to be concerned! Thirdly,and most importantly, this school does not feel that they need to mail the end of the year report card nor do they put final grades up on the website--no you have to drive to the school and pick it up! Not mail it like they do throughout the year! My other daughter will NEVER step foot in that sham of a school!! If I could give this school a negative rating I would!!
