Milan High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Milan Community Schools school district, located in Milan, IN with about 408 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 28 teachers, Milan High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
