Summary

Millington Primary School serves 857 students in grades K–3 in Millington, Tennessee, a suburban community just north of Memphis, and is part of Millington Municipal Schools. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the 53rd percentile of Tennessee elementary schools for 2025–2026, a meaningful improvement from the 18th percentile just a few years ago.

In math and English language arts, Millington Primary outperforms both state averages and its own district. Math proficiency is 48%, compared to 43% statewide and just 33.2% across the district, while ELA is 48.3% proficient versus 40.6% statewide and 33.9% in the district. The school also posts notably strong results for African American and Hispanic students, with statewide percentiles in the high 60s and 70s in recent years. When set against nearby schools, Millington lands in the middle of the pack: it far outperforms Lucy Elementary School, but trails Bartlett Elementary School, Bon Lin Elementary School, and Atoka Elementary School by roughly 10–20 percentage points in both subjects.

The clearest area for improvement is science, where only 34.3% of students are proficient versus 46.9% statewide — a gap of more than 12 points. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 25.5% in 2021–2022 to 19.3% in 2024–2025, but it remains above the state average and the district's 16.6% rate. Special education results also dipped to the 13th percentile statewide in 2025–2026, a notable decline from prior years. Per-pupil spending is high and rising, reaching $15,439 in 2024–2025 — more than Bartlett Elementary School, Munford Elementary School, and Atoka Elementary School spend, even though those schools post stronger results. Overall, Millington Primary is an improving school with solid early literacy and math, but science instruction, absenteeism, and special education support are the key areas to watch.
