Summary:
The city of Millington, Michigan is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a public magnet school). The data reveals that Meachum Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with strong academic achievement and relatively low absenteeism rates. In contrast, the public magnet high school, Malc, faces significant challenges with high chronic absenteeism, lower graduation rates, and higher dropout rates, suggesting the need for improved support systems.
Millington High School maintains a strong 94.3% four-year graduation rate, well above the state average, and has a low 1.1% dropout rate, which is impressive. However, the middle and high schools generally lag behind the state averages on standardized test scores. The schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 53.6% to 89.66%, which may be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges.
Overall, the Millington Community Schools district exhibits a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. While Meachum Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, the district as a whole faces challenges in supporting its diverse student population, particularly at the secondary level. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted strategies to improve student outcomes will be crucial for the district's continued growth and success.
