Summary

Millis Road Elementary is a PK–5 school in Jamestown, NC, serving 444 students within Guilford County Schools, where 99.3% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25. The school currently ranks 548th of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools, placing it in the 63rd percentile with a 3-star rating. That is a step down from its 85th-percentile performance between 2018–19 and 2020–21, but Millis Road remains one of the better-performing schools in its immediate area. Only Florence Elementary (70th percentile) ranks higher locally; Millis Road outranks Jamestown Elementary (48th), Pilot Elementary (38th), and Sedgefield Elementary (12th), among others.

Academically, Millis Road beats the district average in every tested subject and grade. In 5th-grade science, 80% of students are proficient—the highest in its comparison group and well above the state's 67.7% average. Science has been a consistent strength for several years. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is just 10.5%, compared with 29.2% across Guilford County Schools, and it is the lowest rate among all nearby elementary schools. Millis Road also achieves these results while spending less per student ($9,040) than schools like Parkview Village Elementary ($13,734) or Triangle Lake Montessori Elementary ($12,776), both of which rank far lower.

Millis Road stands out for its results with students who are traditionally underserved. English Language Learner students scored in the 95th percentile statewide, special education students in the 96th, and low-income students in the 70th. However, there are warning signs: gifted/talented students have dropped from the 78th percentile to the 18th percentile over the past two years, and 3rd-grade reading proficiency (52.2%) trails the state average (55.6%). Importantly, the school avoids the steep upper-grade slide seen at nearby schools like Edwin A Alderman Elementary, whose 3rd-grade math proficiency of 87.3% falls to 45.7% by 5th grade. Millis Road instead stays steady, with reading proficiency actually rising from 52.2% in 3rd grade to 60.0% in 5th grade.
