Summary

Millburn Middle School in Lindenhurst, Illinois, serves 388 students in grades 6–8 and is compared here with schools in the surrounding area. Its 2025–26 results are especially strong across subjects: proficiency was 75% in English language arts (ELA), 60% in math and 69% in eighth-grade science. The most important finding is that Millburn led nearby schools in each of these reported comparisons and scored well above state averages in all three.

Millburn’s ELA result was 19 percentage points above the state and 2 points above Millburn CCSD 24; its math result was 20 points above the state and essentially matched the district. For a like-grade-span comparison, Millburn was 35 points above the nearby middle schools’ average in ELA and 38 points above it in math. Eighth-grade science was 17 points above the state and 24 points above the nearby reporting schools’ average; the next-highest nearby result was 63% at Grayslake Middle School. Within Millburn, eighth-grade math is the area to watch: 54% were proficient, down from 64% in sixth grade, though this still topped nearby eighth-grade results.

Scores have risen over three years: ELA went from 68% in 2023–24 to 75% in 2025–26, and math from 50% to 60%. State scores rose faster, narrowing Millburn’s advantages. SchoolDigger ranks Millburn in the 84th percentile statewide and gives it four stars, down from the 90th percentile in 2023–24. Its statewide effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students was at the 55th percentile in 2025–26, down from the 91st percentile the year before and below the school’s overall standing.

What people are saying

by a student
Sunday, November 11, 2018

The place isn't terrible, most of the teachers are good at what the teach and add something to the experience. A lot of the teachers are good with students and are able to handle most scenarios, while making the class fun and engaging. I've found that some teachers, as well as a large portion of the administration at the district, are seemingly not capable of performing their job to a level on-par with the rest of the teachers in the district. The principal at Millburn Elementary is almost always ready to do something and help students, the Vice Principal is in a similar scenario. The Principal here (as of 2018) has not done enough to help with students, and after talks with friends and family, has not helped them either when they had requests. I've found that extracurriculars that are outside Sports don't seem to get much attention from administration either. Band is neglected greatly and one to three parents are advocating for the firing of the schools 16 year band director, the district is only following along with the loudest minority and the superintendent says he has to, "please everybody". Any person would know is impossible, especially when your job is public relations with a school district, even one that's as small as this one. Extracurriculars started by the students are even worse. Even if the teacher that decides to work with your group is there for more than the 50 dollars per student, the school, and OTHER TEACHERS will try their hardest to kneecap your program just because they can, or because they feel jealous that a student is trying to do something interesting other than strictly learning inside the school walls.

Overall, a lot of the teachers are really well, but the administration and a few distinct students in the school need some level of formal reeducation. Close Quote
