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.

At Robert A Millikan, I love absolutely everything about it, the diversity, the classes, the teachers and last but most definitely not least the food. The variety they have is indescribable its basically mind blowing.

The administrators and staff are involved in the student's lives. They are there to aid the students based on the circumstances that stand. I had a great experience at this school. In fact, I met some of the greatest people here. For example, my best friends who I have known for almost seven years. If I had the chance to go back to middle school again, I would go back to Robert A. Millikan Middle school.
