Summary

Millswood Middle is a public school serving about 850 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Lodi Unified School District, which serves the Lodi, California area.

Academically, Millswood's test scores in English, Math, and Science are below the state average, a trend common among traditional middle schools in its district. The school has a 2-star rating and its performance has declined slightly over the past several years. However, it performs in the middle of its district peers, doing better than Morada Middle and Delta Sierra Middle but not as well as Christa McAuliffe Middle. A notable strength is its program for Special Education students, which performs well above average. Chronic student absenteeism, while improved from pandemic highs, remains an area for improvement.

Interesting comparisons with nearby schools highlight that challenges may be district-wide, but also show what is possible. For instance, Elkhorn, another school in Lodi Unified, achieves exceptional 5-star results. Similarly, the charter school Aspire Benjamin Holt Middle outperforms Millswood despite having a higher student-teacher ratio. Schools in neighboring districts like Robert L. McCaffrey Middle in the Galt Joint Union Elementary district also perform better, suggesting Millswood's context is an important factor in its performance.
