Summary

Millington Primary School is an elementary school located in Millington, Tennessee, serving grades PK-3 with a total enrollment of 891 students. The school is part of the Millington Municipal Schools district, which is ranked 113 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Millington Primary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its district average on TNReady assessments in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 44.7% in Mathematics, 36.7% in English Language Arts, and 29.6% in Science, while the state averages were 42.2%, 38.9%, and 46.1%, respectively. However, the school's African American students have consistently outperformed the state average, ranking in the top 25-30% of Tennessee elementary schools in this subgroup. In contrast, the school's White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled, ranking in the bottom 40-60% of Tennessee elementary schools.

Millington Primary School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 23.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending has increased from $11,171 in 2020-2021 to $13,525 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. When compared to nearby schools, such as Bartlett Elementary School, which consistently outperforms Millington Primary School on TNReady assessments, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming academically. The high chronic absenteeism rates and the school's location within a lower-performing district may be contributing factors to its struggles, but the school's strengths in supporting its African American students suggest that it may have the potential to improve its overall academic performance with the right strategies and interventions.
