Millington Central Middle High School

Summary:

Millington Central Middle High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Millington, Tennessee, with a student population of 1,191. The school is part of the Millington Municipal Schools district, which is ranked 118 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Academically, Millington Central Middle High School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Tennessee high schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments (TNReady) that are significantly below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (24%) and English Language Arts (19.2%) were well below the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Special Education students, who ranked 150 out of 154 Tennessee high schools in 2022-2023. Compared to nearby schools like Bartlett High School, which consistently ranks in the top 15% of Tennessee high schools, Millington Central Middle High School significantly underperforms.

The school's declining academic performance over the past few years, coupled with a shifting racial demographic of the student body (decreasing White students and increasing African American and Hispanic students), may be contributing factors to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending of around $11,600 and small class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 16) suggest that the issue may be systemic within the Millington Municipal Schools district, warranting further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
