Summary

Meachum Elementary is a public elementary school located in Millington, Michigan, serving 470 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Millington Community Schools district, which is ranked 280 out of 613 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meachum Elementary faces several challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, which rose from 15.5% in 2022-2023 to 29.5% in 2023-2024, notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Clio Intermediate and Siple Elementary. The school's academic performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is generally below the state averages across grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math lower than the Michigan state averages. Additionally, Meachum Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.62% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Lorenz C List School.

Meachum Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 775 out of 1,548 Michigan elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 661 out of 1,488 in 2024-2025, suggesting the school is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state. The school also shows significant disparities in the performance of different student subgroups, with the ranking for male students (721 out of 1,366) much lower than the ranking for female students (575 out of 1,338), and the ranking for white students (736 out of 1,206) lower than the ranking for low-socioeconomic status students (459 out of 1,346). Meachum Elementary's performance also lags behind many of the nearby elementary schools in the region, such as Lorenz C List School, which consistently outperforms Meachum Elementary in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates across grade levels.
