I have a high-schooler at Milton and will have another one joining in the fall. The music department is definitely phenomenal. The quality of their musical performances has been very impressive, to a point you would forget these are high school students. True, Milton is stronger in languages, literature, and humanity than in math. You do have the option to be placed in higher math if you have taken prerequisite courses. You can also opt to take the prerequisite course over the summer if you scored a 98 or 99 percentile on your SSAT Math. However, most students still find it adequately challenging to get an A at the regular level unless math is your standout strength. Many students who normally get straight-A’s in middle school won’t necessarily continue to feel like it is still a walk-in-park at Milton. As positivevibe mentioned, the student’s 9th-grade report card is reported to colleges as P/F and not used to calculate your GPA. However, a grade is given to the students so they could improve and get an idea of how they are performing. I think there are other schools with this practice as well.

We believe Milton is a better fit for us. We had a choice and we chose Milton.
