Summary

East Millbrook Middle is a public magnet middle school located in Raleigh, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 744 students. The school is part of the Wake County Schools district, which is ranked 60 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a highly-ranked district, East Millbrook Middle has consistently low academic performance compared to the district and the state of North Carolina. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science were significantly below the district and state averages, with the largest gaps in Math (30.2% vs. 67.7% for Wake County and 57.2% for North Carolina) and Science (35.6% vs. 69.4% for Wake County and 60.1% for North Carolina). The school has been ranked in the bottom quartile of North Carolina middle schools for the past several years, with a ranking of 651 out of 773 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

When compared to other middle schools in the same district, such as Wakefield Middle, Moore Square Middle, and West Millbrook Middle, which all have significantly higher academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings, the challenges faced by East Millbrook Middle appear to be unique. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 73.25% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, may be a contributing factor to its overall academic underperformance.

Monday, March 7, 2016

It's was a horrible experience for me and my older brother. The reviews that said that east millbrook was good well it's not anymore it used to be good but it's not just drama,fights,swearing,racism,and rude mean people.That school influenced most of my friends to turn into those bad people and it's horrible.yeah education is sort of good but the children there are the worst.If you bring your child there don't whatever means transfer your child or stay away from that school.Because your child will be heartbroken with their feelings destroyed and their self esteem.Your child can become even worse with those students and it's best to do carpool because we have some strict bus drivers or don't even care what happens in the bus.Lots of fights and cursing happens in the bus so make sure to stay away from buses.Teachers can be strict and mad sometimes but they are great teachers and are humorous but it's only the 6th grade teachers that are better and nicer by a little.Yes they have great choices with electives and they say they have a IB learning school but people hardly get good grades in that school.And if you don't want your child to learn all those sexual things early do not let them go to that school.The children there will cause the newcomers from elementary to cry and break their feelings while they lose their sanity and go outburst crazy which will cause a counselor to help and they really don't help or get a consequence form the school.When fights break out students get very violent like throwing each other on the bus or at lockers kicking punching and all that but girls look more violent to me.When there is fights teachers get violent sort of like a teacher grabbed on the girls heads and yanked them apart with shirts ripped up.I knew a school officer used pepper spray on fights too seemed really bad.Whats annoying teachers don't have patience or get really annoyed so they put kids into ASD (after school detention) for no reason or give it to random kids.Plus teachers give a lot of work LIKE A LOT.Teachers always say oh i'm trying to help you are not doing your work ,BUT! they do not know what these students have to go through with these students or outside of school and it's horrible.
