Summary

Mill Creek Elementary School in Statesboro, GA, serves approximately 602 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Bulloch County school district. The school has seen its statewide ranking decline over the past decade, moving from the 51st percentile in 2015-2016 to the 22nd percentile in 2025-2026, with a slight uptick from last year's 18th percentile.

The most notable trend at Mill Creek is how math proficiency drops as students advance through grade levels. In 2025-2026, 43.6% of 3rd graders met math standards, but that falls to 30.4% in 4th grade and just 19.7% in 5th grade. This pattern is unique among nearby schools—for example, Portal Elementary sees proficiency rise from 53.3% in 3rd grade to 63.5% in 5th grade, while Brooklet Elementary maintains strong performance across all grades. Mill Creek's 5th grade math proficiency of 19.7% is nearly 30 points below the district average of 49.1%, and 5th grade science sits at just 15.8% compared to the district's 47.8%. The school's 3rd grade math performance is notably stronger than Langston Chapel Elementary's 28.9%, but that early advantage is lost by 5th grade.

Mill Creek serves a student population with significant economic need—100% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024-2025, up from 75.5% two years prior. Per-student spending has risen to $15,819, which is higher than several higher-performing schools like Brooklet Elementary ($13,623) and Nevils Elementary ($14,720), raising questions about resource allocation. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved from 25.8% in 2021-2022 to 21.9% in 2025-2026, though it remains above the district average of 20.3% and higher than schools like Brooklet (13.7%) and Julia P. Bryant Elementary (15.7%). The school's relatively stronger 3rd grade performance suggests early foundations are being established, but the challenge lies in maintaining that momentum through 4th and 5th grades.
