Millington Junior High School

Q: Is Millington Junior High School a good school?

Millington Junior High School ranks 574 th of 897 Michigan middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Millington Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Millington, Michigan, with a student population of 222. The school is part of the Millington Community Schools district, which is ranked 240 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Millington Junior High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (96.85%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Richfield Public School Academy, its academic performance, as measured by M-Step and PSAT test scores, is generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.3% of 6th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 37.5%. The school's math proficiency rates are also much lower than the state, with only 12.2% of 6th graders and 10.7% of 7th graders proficient. Additionally, Millington Junior High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.8% in 2019-2020 to 24.5% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average and many of the nearby schools like Caro Middle School and Reese Middle School.

Millington Junior High School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 303 out of 894 Michigan middle schools in 2015-2016 to 574 out of 897 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep pace with other middle schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (53.6%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to the state average. These factors, along with the school's underperformance for specific student subgroups, such as male students, white students, and students with low socioeconomic status, suggest that Millington Junior High School may need to focus on targeted interventions and addressing the unique needs of its student population to improve academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
