Summary

Meachum Elementary in Millington, MI, is a K-5 school serving 476 students as part of the Millington Community Schools district, and it has earned a solid reputation for academic growth and resilience in a moderate-income community where 54.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of the most impressive things about Meachum is its remarkable success with students from low-income backgrounds. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school ranked in the 80th percentile statewide for this subgroup—a significant jump from 66th the year before. This is especially notable when compared to nearby schools serving similar demographics, such as Haas Elementary School and Moore Elementary School, which rank in the bottom 20th and 14th percentiles overall. Meachum also shines in 5th-grade Science and Social Studies, with 54% proficiency in Science versus the 40% state average, and 34.5% in Social Studies versus 27.5% statewide. Additionally, its chronic absenteeism rate of 15.8% is dramatically lower than the state average of 27.9% and far better than nearby Mayville Elementary School (32.0%) and Moore Elementary School (43.4%), pointing to a strong, engaging school culture.

Meachum’s journey is a story of remarkable recovery. After dipping to a 1-star rating during the pandemic years (2020-2022), it rebounded to a consistent 3-star rating and now sits in the 60th percentile statewide. One area to watch is 5th-grade math, where proficiency drops to 27.6%—below the state average of 32.2%—a pattern seen for two consecutive years. Still, the school achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,849) than peers like Central School ($16,461) and Mayville Elementary School ($15,189), making it a highly efficient choice for families seeking strong outcomes in the Millington area.
