Summary

Millbrook Elementary is a PK-5 school in Aiken, SC, serving 664 students within the Aiken 01 district. The school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks in the 76th percentile statewide, a steady climb from the 65th percentile just a few years ago. With a student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1, Millbrook is one of the larger elementary schools in the area, yet it maintains a personalized feel that supports strong academic growth.

Millbrook stands out for its consistent excellence in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates between 74% and 78% across grades 3-5—outperforming district and state averages by 10-14 points. Science scores are equally impressive, with 4th graders hitting 67.5% proficiency, nearly 22 points above the district average. The school also shows remarkable strength in supporting all learners: it ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide for African American students and the 77th percentile for students from low-income households, with no subgroup falling below the 75th percentile. When compared to nearby schools, Millbrook outperforms Chukker Creek Elementary in nearly every subject and holds a 20-30 point advantage over North Aiken Elementary in most areas.

One area to watch is chronic absenteeism, which has risen to 20.8%—though still better than the district average of 25.1%. Math scores, while improving dramatically (5th grade jumped from 35% to 56% in two years), remain the school's relative weak spot compared to reading. Still, Millbrook achieves these results while spending less per student ($12,264) than several lower-performing peers like Gloverville Elementary ($16,002) and Warrenville Elementary ($14,446). For parents seeking a school with strong academics, equitable outcomes, and efficient resource use, Millbrook is a standout choice in the Aiken area.

Open Quote Great School. Close Quote

Open Quote The school does have a lot of opportunity and many teachers are good. But, if you can keep your child from attending 3rd grade here it would be best. These teachers seem to rush very quickly through topics without understanding that these are 8-10 year olds not college students. There seems to be too much homework in some classes and not enough information is sent home to allow parents to help their children understand their homework assignments.

Only 3 students were on the all "A" honor roll and maybe 30-40 were on "A-B" honor roll. I have never seen this in any other grade and I have had more than one child come through this school. It is disappointing that a school with such potential could allow this to happen at a very critical time in the education of a child. Close Quote
