GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Millikan High School was a fantastic school. It offered great education and resources for all students. There is a great connection between faculty, staff, and students. Asb hosts very fun events and it is always a great time going to football games. The best parts of this high schools is the connection and bonds that students build with each other and their teachers.

At Millikan, it is very overwhelming to come as a freshman. Unless you have a very tight circle of friends previous, the challenge is there for making new friends. After you make friends and get to know people, Millikan becomes a lot easier to navigate. A lot of staff and parents are against the SLCs (small learning communities), but they make it easier to get to know people at this large school and be around people who have similar interests to you.

I was severely bullied and hated every second I spent at this school. SLCs make bullying and social division worse, and QUEST teachers put so much pressure on students, I honestly don't know how anyone gets through it.
