Summary

Millington Junior High School serves 240 students in grades 6-8 within the Millington Community Schools district, located in the rural community of Millington, MI. The school is on a strong upward trajectory, recently earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 52nd percentile statewide—its best performance in nearly a decade and a remarkable 139-spot improvement from its recent low point.

What truly sets this school apart is its exceptional support for special education students, who rank in the 94th percentile statewide—a dramatic turnaround from just a few years ago. The school also shines in 8th grade literacy, with 75.8% of students scoring proficient on the PSAT English Language Arts exam, outpacing the state average by 11 points. Chronic absenteeism is impressively low at 14.5%, nearly half the state rate of 27.9%. When compared to nearby schools, Millington significantly outperforms Richfield Public School Academy, Mt Morris Middle School, and LakeVille Middle School, while keeping pace with Caro Middle School and Reese Middle School—all despite serving a higher percentage of low-income students than the top-performing EF Rittmueller Middle School in Frankenmuth.

The school's primary challenge is mathematics, where proficiency rates in 6th and 7th grade lag roughly 15 points behind state averages. However, the 8th grade cohort shows remarkable year-over-year gains across multiple subjects, suggesting effective instructional strategies are taking hold. Students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds have also improved dramatically, jumping from the 30th to 60th percentile in just two years. At $13,313 per student, the school spends less than several nearby districts while achieving better outcomes, indicating efficient use of resources. While the school's ranking history shows some volatility, the current momentum—combined with strong special education support and improving literacy rates—paints a promising picture for families considering this school.
