Summary:

Millington Primary School is an elementary school serving grades PK-3 in Millington, Tennessee, which is part of the Millington Municipal Schools district. The school has seen a diverse student population in recent years, with a racial makeup ranging from 39.74% White, 33.57% African American, and 14.45% Hispanic students.

Academically, Millington Primary School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on TNReady tests, with proficiency rates in Mathematics (36.9%), English Language Arts (42.2%), and Science (36.7%) all below the state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 518 out of 1,008 Tennessee elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 805 out of 983 in 2020-2021, and it has been rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools like Bartlett Elementary, Munford Elementary, and Bon Lin Elementary, which are located in higher-ranked Bartlett and Tipton County districts, Millington Primary School has consistently underperformed in academic achievement. While the school's spending per student has increased, this has not translated into improved outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
