Summary:
In zip code 48746, there is exactly one middle school option for families: Millington Junior High School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Millington Community Schools district.
For parents considering this school, the most important takeaway is that Millington Junior High shows a clear split between strong language arts skills and weaker math performance. The school’s 8th-grade English Language Arts scores on the PSAT are a standout, with 75.8% of students proficient—well above the state average of 64.8%. However, math proficiency is a concern, especially in 6th and 7th grades, where only 15.5% and 19.2% of students met state standards, respectively—roughly half the state averages. The good news is that the school is improving overall: its state ranking jumped from the 36th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 52nd percentile in 2025-2026, placing it at #432 out of 896 schools. This upward trend suggests that despite math challenges, the school is making meaningful progress.
Another positive sign is the school’s low chronic absenteeism rate of 14.5%, which is nearly half the state average of 27.9%. This indicates strong student engagement and family involvement. The school also performs at or above state averages in 8th-grade science (42.1% vs. 39.2%) and social studies (50.5% vs. 50.3%). With an enrollment of 240 students, a student-teacher ratio of 17:1, and per-student spending of $13,313, the school offers a relatively personalized environment. Nearly half of the students (47.08%) qualify for free/reduced lunch, reflecting above-average economic needs in the area, yet the school still manages to exceed state averages in several subjects. For parents, this is a school with clear strengths in reading and science, a recognized need for improvement in math, and a trajectory that suggests dedicated staff and a supportive community are making a difference.
