Summary:
Millington Community Schools in Michigan has only one middle school, Millington Junior High School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, has consistently been below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with over 50% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student and a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than the state average, Millington Junior High School's academic outcomes remain a concern. The school's proficiency rates in M-Step and PSAT subjects range from 10.7% to 37.2% and 21.8% to 60.3%, respectively, compared to state averages of 29.7% to 38.8% in M-Step and 32.6% to 64.5% in PSAT. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 13.8% also suggests additional challenges in student engagement and attendance.
The lack of diversity in the student population, with 96.85% of students identifying as White, may also be a factor in the school's performance and the ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience. Addressing the underlying socioeconomic challenges, improving resource allocation, and fostering a more diverse and inclusive learning environment could be crucial steps in supporting the growth and development of Millington Junior High School and the Millington Community Schools district.
