Summary

Millswood Middle in Lodi, California, serves grades 7–8 and enrolls 843 students; it is one of several middle and elementary schools in the surrounding area. The main academic concern is that in 2025–26, Millswood’s proficiency was below California’s in all three tested subjects.

Math is the school’s strongest subject compared with the district and nearby schools, while science is its weakest against the state. Millswood’s math proficiency was 33%, above Lodi Unified at 30%, though below California at 38%; its science result was 25%, below both the district’s 26% and the state’s 36%. ELA was 39%, close to the district’s 40% but below the state’s 49%. Seventh-grade math stands out locally: its 36% proficiency ranked third among nine nearby schools with comparable results. Eighth-grade ELA is a particular concern within the school, at 34% compared with 44% in seventh grade.

Results over time show math improving and narrowing its gap with the state, while science has barely risen: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, math increased 5 points and science less than 1 point. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 31% in 2021–22 to 18% in 2025–26, close to the state’s 18% and below the district’s 24%. SchoolDigger places Millswood at the 44th statewide percentile, with 2 stars and a rank of 1,512 out of 2,703—near the middle of the nearby group, between Delta Sierra Middle at the 10th percentile and Elkhorn at the 100th. Its 19.9:1 student–teacher ratio is below the nearby average of about 21.8:1. In 2024–25, 70% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, close to the nearby average of 69%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for how well Millswood serves Asian students was 15, compared with 44 overall, and its percentile for Special Education Students fell from 64 in 2024–25 to 34 in 2025–26.
