Summary

Millmont Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Reading School District in Pennsylvania. With 598 students, the school faces significant challenges in serving its high-poverty student population.

Academically, Millmont Elementary consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages on PSSA assessments, with only 11.9% of students proficient or better in Math, compared to 41.7% statewide and 9.8% in the Reading School District. The school also struggles to serve its diverse student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Pennsylvania elementary schools for Hispanic, English Language Learner, Low Socioeconomic Status, and Disabled students. As a result, Millmont Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a 0 or 1 star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, other elementary schools in the Reading School District, such as Lauers Park, Sixteenth & Haak, and Tenth & Green, perform significantly better on academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates and better school rankings. Despite the high-needs student population, Millmont Elementary does not appear to receive significantly more funding or resources than these other schools, suggesting deep-seated, systemic challenges that the school and district have not been able to effectively address.
